Summary
A colorful assortment of photographs captures barrio life in Pilsen, Chicago's largest Mexican neighborhood, and in nearby Little Village, revealing the public and private worlds of the inhabitants of the city's Mexican community.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In 1988 photographer Paul DâAmato was driving around Chicago with his camera when he decided to follow Halsted Street into Pilsen, the cityâs largest Mexican neighborhood. Intrigued by the barrio and neighboring Little Village, he began to take photographs and would continue to do so off and on for the next fourteen years. DâAmato started with the public life of the neighborhood: women and children in the streets, open fire hydrants, and graffiti. But laterâafter he got to know the areaâs Mexican residents betterâhe was allowed to take more intimate photos of people at work, families at weddings and parties, and even gang members.
Barrio collects ninety of these striking color images along with DâAmatoâs fascinating account of his time photographing Mexican Chicago and his acceptanceâoften grudging, after threatened violenceâinto the heart of the cityâs Mexican community. Some of the photos here are beautifully composed and startlingâvisual narratives that are surreal and dreamlike, haunting and mythic. Others, like those DâAmato took while shadowing graffiti artists in the subway, are far more immediate and improvisational. With a foreword by author Stuart Dybek that places DâAmatoâs work in the context of the Pilsen and Little Village that Dybek has elsewhere captured so memorably, this book offers a penetrating, evocative, and overall streetwise portrait of two iconic and enduring Hispanic neighborhoods.
