Magnum America

The coffee table book "Magnum America" is not a comprehensive photographic history of the United States, but uses the journalistic photography of agency Magnum to ask the question: What is "America"?

Arranged in chapters by decade, from the 1940s to the present - complete with timelines, individual portfolios of stories and collective portfolios - Magnum America juxtaposes ordinary and extraordinary people and events. It offers a moving interpretation of the nation's past and present, while also questioning its future.

This comprehensive publication includes more than 600 illustrations by photographers such as Bruce Davidson, Wayne Miller, Eve Arnold, Martin Parr, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Bieke Depoorter, Paul Fusco, Susan Meiselas, Sabiha Çimen and Leonard Freed. Edited by Magnum photographer Peter van Agtmael and Professor Laura Wexler, Magnum America is complemented by texts from leading scholars who expose the myth and mystery of the United States of America.

Magnum America is breathtaking in scope and abundant with the photographic richness and intelligent, insightful authorship for which Magnum's photographers are known. It is a vital contribution to the documentation of contemporary American history and a groundbreaking photo book.
