Magnum America

An epic visual history of the places, people, mythologies and realities of America across eight decades from the renowned photography collective, Magnum Photos. What is 'America?' What does it look like? Where can it be found? What does 'America' mean and for whom? This ambitious publication does not attempt to present a comprehensive photographic history of the United States but uses the stories and photographs in the Magnum Archive to offer potential answers to those questions. In doing so, it presents a compelling visual portrait of the USA, past and present, as it stands once again at the crossroads of history.Magnum America is arranged into decade-by-decade chapters from the 1940s to the present day. Each chapter will include individual Moments, capturing that decade; deeper views through Collective portfolios where multiple Magnum photographers documented a major historic event; and long-form, story-led individual portfolios that examine issues, peoples and events as portrayed by individual Magnum photographers. Commentaries and texts appear throughout, highlighting the multiple voices and perspectives that define both Magnum and the United States.The book looks beyond the fifty states to invite us to consider the concept of 'America as Empire', with military and political adventures and misadventures abroad, including Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, featured, as well as soft power and ‘America’ as a cultural export. Breathtaking in scope and abundant with the photographic riches and intelligent, insightful authorship for which Magnum’s photographers are renowned, as well as texts by Professor Laura Wexler alongside other contributing writers, Magnum America is a vital contribution to the documentation of contemporary American history, and a future classic.
