Purchase options and add-ons

As a photographer for Life and Fortune magazines, Margaret Bourke-White traveled to Russia in the 1930s, photographed the Nazi takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1938, and recorded the liberation of Buchenwald at the end of WWII. In 1949, Life sent her to South Africa to take photographs in a country that was becoming racially polarized by white minority rule. Life published two photo-essays highlighting Bourke-White's photographs, but much of her South African work remained unpublished until now. Here, these stunning photographs collected by Alex Lichtenstein and Rick Halpern offer an unparalleled visual record of white domination in South Africa during the early days of apartheid. In addition to these powerful and historically significant photographs, Lichtenstein and Halpern include two essays that explore Bourke-White's artistic and political formation and provide background material about the cultural, political, and economic circumstances that produced the rise and triumph of Afrikaner nationalism in South Africa. This richly illustrated book brings to light a large body of photography from a major American photographer and offers a compelling history of a reprehensible system of racial conflict and social control that Bourke-White took such pains to document.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A beautiful book, touching and powerful."―Actuphoto

"Bourke-White revealed humanity in her powerful, aesthetically structured photographs. . . . Highly recommended."―Choice

"Particularly because fewer than half of the photographs here were published in Life, this book makes a substantive contribution to our visual archives of apartheid's early years, providing a rich new resource for research and teaching. . . . The world should see this book."―South African Historical Journal

James P. Danky

South Africa's apartheid at the begining

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016

Margaret Bourke-White is too little known today but many of her images are instantly recognizable. Lichtenstein and Halpern have brought us important images from "the dawn apartheid" because Life Magazine sent Bourke-White to South Africa shortly after the Nationalists came to power created the racist regime that only went away when Mandela was released. Images such as the cover shot are familiar but most of her photos have never been seen and offer readers an intimate look at an already deeply divided society.

This beautifully produced book is highly recommended.
