Protest Photographs Chauncey Hare

Chauncey Hare made highly detailed photographs of the interiors of working-class homes and workplaces across America in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This volume contains twice as many moving, disturbing, and often surprising photographs as appeared in his earlier books, Interior America (1977) and This Was Corporate America (1984). Hare's fast-paced introduction highlights a life devoted to protest, filled with unbelievable coincidences, learning, and pain. He describes his strong identification with the people whose homes he photographed and his adamant unwillingness to betray them by selling their photographs at any price. The book explores his struggles for acceptance in the art world and relates personal experiences of abuse during his childhood and professional life as an engineer.
