The growing appreciation of the photobook has inspired an avalanche of new studies and insights into the form - few as surprising and inspiring as The Latin American Photobook, the culmination of a four-year transcontinental research effort led by Horacio Fernández, author of the seminal volume Fotografia Pública. Compiled with contributions from a committee of researchers, scholars and photographers, including Marcelo Brodsky, Iatã Cannabrava, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio and Martin Parr, The Latin American Photobook presents 150 volumes from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela. It begins with the 1920s and continues to the present day, providing revealing insights into the little-known history of Latin American photography, and featuring works by such greats as Claudia Andujar, Barbara Brändli, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Horacio Coppola, Paz Errázuriz, Graciela Iturbide, Sara Facio, Paolo Gasparini, Daniel González, Boris Kossoy, Sergio Larrain, and many others. The book is divided into thematic sections such as "The City," "Conceptual Art and Photography," and "Photography and Literature," the latter a uniquely important category for Latin America. Fernández's thoroughly researched and lavishly illustrated texts offer insight not only into each title and individual photographer, but also into the multivalent social, political and artistic histories of the region. This book is an unparalleled resource for those interested in Latin American photography or in discovering these heretofore unknown gems in the history of the photobook in general. La creciente apreciación del fotolibro ha inspirado una avalancha de nuevos estudios y perspectivas sobre la forma - pocos tan sorprendentes e inspiradores como El fotolibro latinoamericano, la culminación de un esfuerzo de investigación transcontinental de cuatro años dirigido por Horacio Fernández, autor del volumen seminal Fotografia Pública. Compilado con las contribuciones de un comité de investigadores, académicos y fotógrafos, entre los que se encuentran Marcelo Brodsky, Iatã Cannabrava, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio y Martin Parr, El Fotolibro Latinoamericano presenta 150 volúmenes de Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, México, Nicaragua, Perú y Venezuela. Comienza con la década de 1920 y llega hasta nuestros días, proporcionando una visión reveladora de la historia poco conocida de la fotografía latinoamericana, y presentando obras de grandes como Claudia Andujar, Barbara Brändli, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Horacio Coppola, Paz Errázuriz, Graciela Iturbide, Sara Facio, Paolo Gasparini, Daniel González, Boris Kossoy, Sergio Larrain, y muchos otros. El libro está dividido en secciones temáticas como "La ciudad", "Arte conceptual y fotografía" y "Fotografía y literatura", esta última una categoría de singular importancia para América Latina. Los textos de Fernández, minuciosamente investigados y profusamente ilustrados, ofrecen una visión no sólo de cada título y fotógrafo individual, sino también de las multivalentes historias sociales, políticas y artísticas de la región. Este libro es un recurso incomparable para aquellos interesados en la fotografía latinoamericana o en descubrir estas joyas hasta ahora desconocidas en la historia del fotolibro en general.
