Reseña del editor:

A unique scrapbook provides a visual celebration of black social and cultural history, from World War II to the present, by recreating African-American traditions and family life with simple, poignant stories of family reunions, worship, weddings, funerals, barbecues, and other events, accompanied by photographs, programs, movie posters, and ticket stubs.

Reseña del editor:

The first visual document of black social and cultural history in America from World War II to the present, "In Our Own Image" is also a fascinating scrapbook that recounts simple, eloquent stories about home life, family reunions, worship, weddings, funerals, barbeques, barbershops, beauty parlors, nightclubs, civic organizations, and celebrations. The unique recollections of African-Americans from a variety of backgrounds and age groups accompany more than 160 images from personal and archival collections, with such poignant ephemera as programs from cotillions and fashion shows, restaurant menus, movie posters, even ticket stubs. The authors have woven material from university and museum collections in Detroit, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Atlanta into a narrative photo book that forms a warm, loving record of African-American community, traditions, and family life in the latter half of the twentieth century.
