Book - Black in America 

Eli Reed 

Eli Reed has been documenting the black experience in America from the time he began taking pictures. This volume, "Black in America", is his provocative and often poignant portrait of black life in America. As a photographer, Reed is known for his unflinching coverage of events both large an small. Here we see tender moments between parents and children contrasted with the Los Angeles riots.

The deceptive innocence of rural life balances the tension...
