Inscribed with the loss of his brother and the history of six generations before him, he has relived the past vicariously, photographing his cousins, Drew and Jimmy, as they grew to manhood. Delineated by the seasons and the intimacy of small town life, the results suggest nothing less than a Gothic portrait of boyhood in rural America.

During 1929, Herbert List began to photograph the young men he knew and traveled with throughout Greece, Italy, and Germany.

Ernest Cole, a Black South African man, photographed the underbelly of apartheid in the 1950s and ’60s, often at great personal risk. He methodically captured the myriad forms of violence embedded in everyday life for the Black majority under the apartheid system—picturing its miners, its police, its hospitals, its schools. In 1966, Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his negatives; House of Bondage was published the following year with his writings and first-person account. This edition retains the powerful story of the original while adding new perspectives on Cole’s life and the legacy of House of Bondage, remaining a visually powerful and politically incisive document of the apartheid era.
