La trilogie South de Mark Steinmetz est de retour. Le photographe et Nazraeli Press nous proposent ici une version “remasterisée”, cependant fidèle à l’originale, qui nous immerge dans l’univers de Steinmetz. Fasciné par l’histoire sociale de son pays, le voyage que nous offrent ces clichés nous amène dans la ceinture sud du Midwest, et s’étale sur plusieurs décennies. Steinmetz achève sa magistrale trilogie avec ce tome, qui fait co-exister les clichés pris entre les années 90 et 2000, sur la route qui le mena d’Athènes à Atlanta. On aura donc traversé ce témoignage du photographe sur la société américaine dans les visages et les autos, les animaux et les campagnes, les banlieues et les supérettes, les parkings et les instants de douceurs, les regards et les attentes. Un quotidien puissant et discret, très révélateur, probablement nourrissant le fantasme états-unien, et qui s’achève avec une dédicace à l’épopée, puisque Steinmetz est fils d’un immigré, venu conquérir ce pays il y a longtemps.

"This book examines the ways that Atlantans have remembered the Civil War since 1865. During the Civil War, Atlanta became the second most important city in the Confederacy, after Richmond. Since the end of the war, Atlanta's civic and business leaders promoted its image as a 'Phoenix City' rising from the ashes of General William T. Sherman's wartime destruction. According to this carefully constructed view, Atlanta respects its Confederate past while also moving forward with business growth and 'progress.' Yet in spite of its economic success since 1865, Atlanta is a city where the meaning of the Civil War continues to be debated and contested, where whites and blacks remember the war in different and conflicting ways. Periodically, racial tension has marred the city's reputation and its progressive spirit. Today, Atlanta (and the South) have achieved reconciliation with the North but debate over Civil War memory is ongoing"--

The civil rights movement required money. In the early 1960s, after years of grassroots organising, civil rights activists convinced nonprofit foundations to donate in support of voter education and registration efforts. One result was the Voter Education Project (VEP), which, starting in 1962, showed far-reaching results almost immediately and organised the groundwork that eventually led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In African American communities across the South, the VEP catalyzed existing campaigns; it paid for fuel, booked rallies, bought food for volunteers, and paid people to canvass neighborhoods. Despite this progress, powerful conservatives in Congress weaponized the federal tax code to undercut the important work of the VEP.
