<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book is a selective retrospective of David Goldblatt (born 1930), a key figure in 20th-century photography. Starting from his earliest photographic series, it shows the foundations of Goldblatt's critical passion for photography, his social sensitivity and political consciousness. Also presented are his most recent photographs pertaining to the changing situation in his native South Africa. <i>Structures of Dominion and Democracy</i> assembles many of Goldblatt's influential series, including <i>On the Mines</i>, <i>Some Afrikaners</i> and <i>Structures</i> with some less well-known including <i>Kas Maine</i>, and reconstructs the history of their first publication in the international press. Reproducing original handmade dummies and working plates, the process of bookmaking and other diverse applications of these often iconic images are laid bare. In addition to texts by the photographer, essays by Ivor Powell and Karolina Ziebinska-Lewandowska explore Goldblatt's work in the context of South African political and cultural history, as well as his contribution to the wider history of photography.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>His new book, Structures of Dominion and Democracy (Steidl) begins in 1949 and continues through 2016, taking us across a sweeping arc of history that is sensitive to the ways in which apartheid penetrated every aspect of life for men, women, and children, both black and white.--Sara Rosen "Huck"<br>
