About this ebook
'Felling & Pining' depicts life, death, faith, and doubt in the poorest and most pious parts of the United States. With 430 original color images, John Howard looks back to 19th and 20th century southern communities, examines present-day legacies, and "pines forward"-not toward a heavenly afterlife but a near future rife with progressive possibility. The photobook contrasts nature's beauty with bleak histories of Native American expulsion, African American slavery, pernicious labor exploitation, and persistent environmental degradation, insisting that we can and must do better. Punctuated with warm portraits of the Deep South's diverse peoples, it honors their forebears and holds out hope for their heirs. 'Felling & Pining' is an unusual and impassioned visual plea for social and economic justice. 'Felling & Pining' representa la vida, la muerte, la fe y la duda en las zonas más pobres y piadosas de Estados Unidos. A través de 430 imágenes originales en color, John Howard recuerda a las comunidades sureñas de los siglos XIX y XX, y examina los legados que han llegado hasta la actualidad, mirando hacia adelante; no hacia una vida celestial después de la muerte, sino hacia un futuro cercano lleno de posibilidades progresivas. Las instantáneas contrastan la belleza de la naturaleza con las sombrías historias de la expulsión de los nativos americanos, la esclavitud de los afroamericanos, la perniciosa explotación laboral y la persistente degradación del medio ambiente, insistiendo en que podemos y debemos hacerlo mejor. Salpicado de cálidos retratos de los diversos pueblos del sur profundo, el libro honra a sus antepasados y ofrece esperanza a sus herederos. Esta colección de fotografías constituye un inusual y apasionado alegato visual por la justicia social y económica.
