"Vergara is especially alert to changes in the urban landscape ...perhaps more people will take a second, closer look at the wealth ofnative folk art we have all over town. And Vergara deserves thanks forrecording them and offering a serious critical appraisal." - Detroit Metro Times
Reseña del editor
Over the past 25 years, award-winning ethnographer and photographerCamilo Jose Vergara has traveled annually to Detroit to document notonly the city's precipitous decline but also how its residents havesurvived. From the 1970s through the 1990s, changes in Detroit werealmost all for the worse, as the fabric of the city was erased throughneglect and abandonment. But over the last decade Detroit has seenthe beginnings of a positive transformation, and the photography inDetroit Is No Dry Bones provides unique documentation of the revivaland its urbanistic possibilities. Beyond the fate of the city's buildingsthemselves, Vergara's camera has consistently sought to capture thedistinct culture of this largely African American city. The photographsin this book, for example, are organized in part around the way peoplehave re-used and re-purposed structures from the past. Vergara is uniquein his documentation of local churches that have re-occupied old bankbuildings and other impressive structures from the past and turnedthem into something unexpectedly powerful architecturally as well asspiritually.
