"Frazier offers a perspective from the inside, and her images achieve a muted power without being sentimental or sensational." (The Editors Bookforum) "Frazier's challenging and haunting photographs have previously brought this story to museums and galleries, but in this, her first book, she adds writing to create a powerfully stark family portrait. The brilliance of this volume, and Frazier's work, is in the way it manages to be both documentary and art, deeply intimate and widely important, relentless but so very necessary." (Jillian Steinhauer Hyperallergic) "Frazier reimagines the tradition of social documentary photography by approaching a community not as a curious or concerned outsider but as a vulnerable insider." (Maurice Berger The New York Times - Lens) "In her first book, Frazier explores themes of economic inequity, racism and personal politics through three generations of her own family, and documents the tolls that big injustices can have on small families and communities alike." (Phil Bicker TIME Lightbox)"

Now available in a paperback edition, LaToya Ruby Frazier’s award-winning first book, The Notion of Family, offers an incisive exploration of the legacy of racism and economic decline in America’s small towns, as embodied by her hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania. The work also considers the impact of that decline on the community and on her family, creating a statement both personal and truly political―an intervention in the histories and narratives of the region. Frazier has compellingly set her story of three generations―her Grandma Ruby, her mother, and herself―against larger questions of civic belonging and responsibility. The work documents her own struggles and interactions with family and the expectations of community, and includes the documentation of the demise of Braddock’s only hospital, reinforcing the idea that the history of a place is frequently written on the body as well as the landscape. With The Notion of Family, Frazier knowingly acknowledges and expands upon the traditions of classic black-and-white documentary photography, enlisting the participation of her family, and her mother in particular. In the creation of these collaborative works, Frazier reinforces the idea of art and image-making as a transformative act, a means of resetting traditional power dynamics and narratives―both those of her family and of the community at large.
