An unflinching look at the civil war in El Salvador and its attendant brutalities. Harry Mattison, Susan Meiselas, and Fae Rubenstein have edited the work of 30 photographers into a powerful document of a country torn between an oppressive government and a fierce resistance. In addition to numerous images of combat and its grisly aftermath, the effects of the war on the lives of El Salvador's people, rich and poor, are also chronicled. A powerful book, not for the squeamish.
Five signed books by Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas (In History, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Carnival Strippers and Encounters with Dani).
In History is included in Parr/Badger,
The Photobook: A History, vol. III.
"For me the essence of documentary photography has always been to do with evidence. When you're working with evidence - say when you're digging up grave sites - you don't want people to think that it is conceptual art, an installation or it's just invented."--from Liz Jobey, "Photographer Susan Meiselas: 'Why am I making this picture?'," The Guardian, Friday 12 December 2008
