Reviews
Mostly unpublished during Verger s lifetime, these images fill some gaps in the visual record left by American photographers (Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, et al.) in a period when that art flourished in this country. And it begins to introduce us to a fascinating and unexpected figure of consequence for what would later be called the Black Atlantic., Mostly unpublished during Verger's lifetime, these images fill some gaps in the visual record left by American photographers (Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, et al.) in a period when that art flourished in this country. And it begins to introduce us to a fascinating and unexpected figure of consequence for what would later be called the Black Atlantic., Whether making portraits in Harlem or Congo, Verger celebrated and uplifted the humanity of all he encountered along the way, creating a repository of soul that both preserves and transcends the times in which these pictures were made., Offers a nuanced portrait of black America before the war...thoughtful, often hopeful images of arresting individuals in black communities, full of aspirational intent and not shy of beauty.
Synopsis
Pierre Fatumbi Verger is considered one of the most outstanding photographers of the twentieth century as well as a recognized researcher in the field of African Diaspora and religion studies. Verger traveled to the United States of America in 1934 and 1937, during the Great Depression, producing a collection of stunning images that document the national symbols that configure American identity and the challenging social and economic atmosphere of the time. Verger was able to capture with great sensibility the complex cultural and racial diversity of the country where many citizens still confront segregation and poverty, while struggling to live a better life. Vergerยดs photographs constitute an extraordinary contribution to our understanding of the 1930ยดs in the U.S., and to the growth of photojournalism, documentary and artistic photography, representing the world from new and enriching perspectives. In the introduction, Javier Escudero Rodrรญguez frames Vergerยดs significant contribution to modern photography as well as the lasting relevance of this new collection of iconic images of the Great Depression. The 150 images included in the book, the majority of them never published before, were selected among 1110 negatives, after a meticulous research from Vergerยดs archive at the Pierre Verger Foundation in Salvador., Unseen images of the Great Depression from the famed chronicler of the African diaspora Pierre Verger is considered one of the most outstanding photographers of the 20th century and a recognized researcher in the field of African Diaspora and religion studies.

The 150 photographs included here--the majority of which have never been published before--were selected from 1,110 negatives, after meticulous research at the Pierre Verger Foundation in Salvador, Brazil. French photographer, ethnologist, anthropologist and researcher Pierre Verger (1902-96) was born in Paris but lived most of his life in the city of Salvador, capital of the state of Bahia, in Brazil. Verger photographed some of the most renowned figures of his time, such as Chang Kai Chek, Diego Rivera, Leon Trotsky and Ernest Hemingway, but the bulk of his oeuvre was based on everyday life and popular culture across five continents. Verger also wrote several reference texts on Afro-Bahian culture and the Diaspora., Unseen images of the Great Depression from the famed chronicler of the African diaspora Pierre Verger is considered one of the most outstanding photographers of the 20th century and a recognized researcher in the field of African Diaspora and religion studies.
