Anotácia knihy

Together, the ninety-three Americans in these portraits trace their ancestry to 100 different countries. Through this visual journey, we meet Americans like Renee Dominique, descended from Afghanis, Irish, and Trinidadians; Russ Theriot, who is Canadian, French, Norwegian, and Cajun, and Andrea Luhtanen with a mixed Slovenian and Finnish background. While the images remind us just how diverse Americans look, the brief autobiographical descriptions appearing on the page of each subject prove that what binds all Americans together is our forefathers' dreams for a better life. Timed for a Labor Day publication, 'American Portraits' is also a testament to the power of 'work'. Captions provide the individual's name, bloodline and occupation and we see how these professions help define who they are, how they fit into this country, and also how work was critical to their ancestors' ability to live out the American Dream.
