| | | Gordon Parks: Born BlackA Personal Report on the Decade of Black Revolt 1960–1970Edited with text by Peter W. Kunhardt Jr., Michal Raz-Russo. Text by Jelani Cobb, Nicole R. Fleetwood.
 Parks' impactful images from the forefront of the civil rights and Black Power movementsOriginally published in 1971, Gordon Parks’ Born Black was the first book to unite his writing and his photography and also the first to provide a focused survey of Parks’ documentation of a crucial time for the civil rights and Black Power movements.
More than 50 years later, this expanded edition illuminates Parks’ vision for the book and offers deeper insight into the series contained within. The original publication featured nine articles commissioned by Life magazine from 1963 to 1970 supplemented with later commentary by Parks and presented as his personal account of these important historical moments. Born Black includes the original text and images, as well as additional photographs from each series, spreads from the 1971 book, early correspondence and reproductions of related Life articles.
The nine series included in Born Black include a rare glimpse inside San Quentin State Prison; extensive documentation of the Black Muslim movement and the Black Panthers; his commentaries on the deaths of civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.; intimate portrait studies of Stokely Carmichael, Muhammad Ali and Eldridge Cleaver; and a narrative of the daily life of the impoverished Fontenelle family in Harlem. These selections have come to define Parks' legendary career as a photographer and activist. This reimagined, comprehensive edition of Born Black highlights the lasting legacy of these projects and their importance to our understanding of critical years in American history.
PRAISE AND REVIEWSAnOther Elodie Saint-Louis Parks’s text is integral to the book’s power; in it, he offers elaboration and contemplation, revealing his complex relationship to race and the movements he observed. Vanity Fair David Friend Exemplifies the contemporary resonance of the photographer’s oeuvre—and his commitment to social justice. The New York Times: Arts Arthur Lubow Giving equal weight to words and pictures, this collection was a highly innovative hybrid. |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/15/2024 Featured spreads are from Gordon Parks: Born Black, the new, expanded edition of Parks’ 1971 book of photographs and writings from the forefront of the civil rights and Black Power movements. “In the last ten years black Americans have turned four hundred years of despair and oppression into an era of rebellion and hope,” Parks wrote in the 1970 Foreword. “It was a turbulent decade filled with demonstrations, riots, bombings and violent death; a period in which we black people combined to mutiny against a common fate. The white symbols and images that for so long disfigured our minds and blackness are being jettisoned by that very blackness. And it was clearly revolt that had to be employed to alter this country’s conduct toward us. Now we are beginning to know who we are, what we mean to America—and what America means to us.” continue to blog | |  | Steidl/The Gordon Parks Foundation/Bowdoin College Museum of ArtISBN: 9783969993620
