Ficha del Libro

"America: un viaje a través de la injusticia (America: a journey through injustice)" is Mexican photographer Enrique Bostelmann's gritty, socially conscious 1970 photo essay chronicling the primarily impoverished indigenous campesinos of Latin America. Issued in Mexico City in the wake of its Olympics and late sixties student and political upheaval, it has become widely viewed in recent years as one of the defining photographically illustrated "protest books" of that decade of unrest. Its preface is in the form of a five page holographic reproduction of an original contribution by noted Mexican literary titan Carlos Fuentes.
