In English and Spanish. Signed by the photographer on title page. One of 1,000 copies printed. Striking photographs of daily life in Cuba. "The Cubans is a photo book about a people who live in a place where time stands still and change is just a word. It is about families and cultures and how they must learn to be creative to survive. The photographs in this book will captivate the viewer and expose them to how the Cuban people, who are extraordinary survivors, are living in the present with a future so uncertain. With ration books in hand, and a strong personal conviction, they feed, clothe and tend to their extended families with little help from outside sources. I am a photographer, a teacher and a teller of tales. My photographs are my words that tell the story of the people, the challenges, the love, and the hope that is seen throughout the beautiful country" --Jay Seldin statement on jacket. // **Somewhat heavy item.
