Down These Mean Streets

Will Steacy

4.9/5 (13752 ratings)

Description:Amidst the noise and rhetoric of the 2012 US presidential campaign comes a sobering visual account of politics, capitalism, social priorities and the collapse of the American Dream. b.frank books presents Down These Mean Streets, the first monograph by Will Steacy. In combining his own celebrated photographs of America’s inner cities with journal entries, maps, and a preponderance of text and imagery from newspapers and magazines, Mr. Steacy presents an imposing collage depicting the downward spiral of the American economy in which 30 years of misguided economic policies have transferred a nation’s wealth and power to a privileged few at the expense of the middle and working class. Rich with iconic imagery of American culture layered with carefully edited clippings from national and regional media, he presents the portrait of a nation struggling to adapt to a 21st Century post-industrialist global economy. Through the appropriation and repurposing of printed matter, Steacy has created a densely packed visual narrative that distills issues echoed throughout the country into a resonant, if bleak, picture of the state of contemporary American society - one of fear, disparity and stagnation as a nation digs itself out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Mr. Steacy holds all parties accountable as he proclaims “both sides of the isle have been indifferent to the plight of the worker and equally responsible for enacting policies that have left a once thriving middle class hanging on for dear life.” His intention with this work is to hold a mirror to America and passionately states, “Our future will be determined by how well we are able to look ourselves in the mirror and accept the truth. We must acknowledge and take responsibility for the consequences of the actions and decisions that lead us where we are today. We must invest in ourselves and ensure that opportunity remains within grasp for all.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
