Benedict J. --Exhibitions --Documentary photography --Protest movements --Pictorial works. Summary: As early as 1968 Benedict J. Fernandez documented the confrontation between highly vocal minorities and the 'quiet majority'. A number of photographs from that time have been reproduced in this book. Here was a new phenomenon. even for late-1960s America: the confrontation with minorities who saw it as a part of their consitutional right to free speech of Benedict J. Fernandez's photographs contributed significantly to public awareness about this form of opposition. Benedict Joseph Fernandez prefers to call himself a 'photo-anthropologist' rather than a 'photojournalist' and has dedicated himself to the study of human experience. He seeks the individual image. avoiding the anonymous voyeurism of the classical 'street photographer'.ISBN: 3908162351. Weight in Kg appr.:
