In the lead-up to the 2008 presidential election, Canadian photographer Ian Brown, fascinated by the idea of the "American dream," set out to photograph Americans and document what it meant to them. Brown traveled across the country in an old truck and began knocking on people's doors; meeting them at town halls, diners, and factories; and approaching them on main streets in small towns. In addition to shooting people's portraits, he asked them to write down--on a piece of paper, in their own handwriting--whatever their "American dream" was or what it meant to them. Their dreams offer a look at fascinating cross-section of identity that makes up the American experience--from the woman in an impoverished town who just wants running water and the pastor who wants to see her community become free of violence, to the young couple who bought a home with the hopes of starting a family and the young woman who dreams of becoming a journalist. Twelve years, eighty thousand miles, fifty states, and more than three hundred portraits later, American Dreams is a culmination of this incredible project, featuring 175 portraits of people of all backgrounds paired with their handwritten "American dreams." Beautifully packaged, and inclusive of a multitude of ages, races, identities, classes, religions, and ideologies, American Dreams is a poignant, defining look at American life and identity during one of the most important moments in our history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $v Pictorial works. $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a United States $v Anecdotes. $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Quotations, American. 650 0 $a Social values $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200827010048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93A2896EE82A11EA9D51BBA42CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
