Vietnam 25 Years Documenting a Changing Country • 1990 - 2015
Fresh off the press, the newly revised edition of Vietnam: 25 Years Documenting a Changing Country • 1990–2015, expanded with an all-new chapter, is available in both hardback and softback!
Catherine Karnow’s attachment to Vietnam, her 25-year history of photographing the changing society and landscape, is a visual diary of how she entered this land of enigma and discovered its turns at every intersection of life.
Her photographs are a poignant journey as she follows in the footsteps of her father, Stanley Karnow, the renowned journalist and author of Vietnam: A History.
Timed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the American War, the work offers an evocative chronicle of the most marked changes in Vietnam’s recent history.
The book is sectioned into periods of time from the somber years of the early 90s, the General Giap era, the Doi Moi years, Agent Orange/Amerasians and finally the new Vietnam through the 2000s. It contains Catherine’s astonishing and deeply moving stories about the people she met, friendships and connections that seem destined, what the Vietnamese call gặp duyên: it is meant to be.
In this updated edition are images that reveal her most personal and spiritual reflections, born of loss and love, of familiar and serene places returned to over years, where friendship, joy, and meditative simplicity now define her Vietnam.
