"While American Jews are commonly considered a homogenous ethnic group, the reality today is far more complex. Conversion, adoption, intermarriage, and immigration have transformed the fabric of Jewish communities, as they have the United States as a nation. This book explores questions of American Jewish identity and how Jews fit today into larger discourses of race, ethnicity, and religion. Featuring ten photographic and video projects by emerging and mid-career artists, all commissioned by The Jewish Museum, the book presents a range of provocative discussions of the nature of Jewish identity in twenty-first-century America."--BOOK JACKET.

Photography Speaks II provides a thoughtful introduction to photography through the words and images of artists who have shaped the medium over the last 150 years. Designed in an accessible format that provides a brief biography, an artist's statement, and a representative image, this book offers a personalized history of photography through amusing anecdotes, introspective musings, conversations, war stories, and even verse. Intended as a companion volume to Photography Speaks, which was published to wide acclaim in 1989, Photography Speaks II features seventy nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists selected to augment the first volume of sixty-six artists. Together, these two volumes provide a wide-ranging and engaging history of photography.

Ciclo de conferencias sobre el fotógrafo peruano Martín Chambi (1891-1973). Del editor: "Martín Chambi es uno de los máximos exponentes de la fotografía mundial. Con su depurado estilo retrató a la sociedad peruana de las primeras décadas del siglo XX y el paisaje tópico y utópico de este país a caballo entre las tradiciones ancestrales y el deseo de modernización. Este libro de la Fundación Telefónica rinde un homenaje a Chambi con este ciclo de conferencias en el que Carlos Gollonet, comisario de la muestra expuesta en 2006 y director del ciclo, reúne a los más destacados estudiosos de la vida y obra del fotógrafo peruano."
