The resultant photo-book, The Americans, represents a seminal moment in both photography and in America's emerging understanding of itself. To mark the book's fiftieth anniversary, Jonathan Day revisits this pivotal work and contributes a thoughtful and revealing critical commentary. Though the importance of The Americans has been widely acknowledged, it still retains much of its mystery. 606 $aDocumentary photography 606 $aPhotographic criticism 607 $aUnited States$xSocial life and customs$y1945-1970$vPictorial works 615 0$aDocumentary photography. 615 0$aPhotographic criticism. 676 $a770.92 700 $aDay$b Jonathan$01469858 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791996503321 996 $aRobert Frank's The Americans$93681452 997 $aUNINA
