Starting with a powerful and chilling evocation of the Somoza regime during its decline in the late 1970s, the images trace the evolution of the popular resistance that led to the triumph of the Sandinista revolution in 1979. The book includes interviews with various participants in the revolution, along with letters, poems, and statistics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the decades following the original publication, Meiselas has continued to contextualize her photographs and relate them to history as it unfolded. Multiple editions build upon this body of work to evoke and conjure up the reality of people's lives and aspirations, their victories and disappointments. In this new edition, thirty images are linked via QR codes to excerpts from the films \u003ci\u003ePictures from a Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e (1991, codirected with Richard P.

By extending and deepening her work, Meiselas asks us \"to consider not only the specific timeframe of this book, but to think about the broader perspective of history unfolding, and how in the passage of time a photograph of a single moment in a person's life shifts its meanings as well as our perception of it.\" An interview with the artist by Magnum Foundation's director, Kristen Lubben, addresses how the work of this evolving project has been circulated, revisited, and repatriated--and how and why it endures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Meiselas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aperture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 11.02w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597115902","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45606536937609,"sku":"9781597115902","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_00aed52b-19ac-424b-b316-a4055dcf6d8d.jpg?v=1776753540","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/susan-meiselas-nicaragua-june-1978-july-1979-9781597115902","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
