Magnum America: The United States

An epic visual history of the places, people, mythologies, and realities of the United States across eight decades from the renowned photography collective Magnum Photos.

What is "America"? What does it look like? Where can it be found? What does "America" mean and for whom? This ambitious publication does not attempt to present a comprehensive photographic history of the United States but uses the stories and photographs in the Magnum Archive to offer potential answers to those questions. In doing so, it presents a compelling visual portrait of the USA, past and present, as it stands once again at a crossroads of history.

Magnum America is arranged into decade-by-decade chapters from the 1940s to the present day.
