Through its beautiful black-and-white images,Saturday Night, Sunday Morningdocuments two important traditions in African American culture. Juxtaposing themes from Saturday night — dancing, music, celebration, romance — with those from Sunday morning — spirituality, religion, family, community — this collection captures African American life in a way that is both visually striking and deeply emotional. Curated and written by noted photographer and author Deborah Willis, the book includes nearly 200 images by more than 100 photographers from across the country, from well-known artists such as Gordon Parks, Carrie Mae Weems, and Clarissa Sligh to lesser-known worthies like Alan Kimara Dixon, Jessica Ingram, Nashormeh N.R. Lindo, and Hank Willis Thomas. Exploring an intriguing, uplifting side of everyday American life, this gorgeous large-format book is a valuable and joyous addition to any photography or African American studies collection.
