Harlem: Black Angels Ruiko Yoshida Kodansha/1974/Japanese/225*255*10/First Edition Harlem: Black Angels- (First Edition) is a collection of photographs by Japanese female photographer Ruiko Yoshida. Journalist Ruiko Yoshida has been publishing a mix of photography and text for many years, focusing on themes such as racism, children and women. After graduating from Keio University, she worked as an announcer for NHK and TBS before moving to the USA. He studied photojournalism at Columbia University, where he began taking photographs. In New York, he settled in Harlem, a feared black neighbourhood, where he began by taking snaps of adorable children and depicting the daily lives of the people of Harlem and the black movement, which was in the midst of discrimination and cultural revolution and was awakening to a revolution in consciousness. This book, first published in 1974 (reprinted in 2010), is a photographic record of that series, a miraculous record by a courageous woman journalist that is no less than the Harlem captured by Bruce Davidson and other American photographers. First edition, first printing. Lacks plastic cover.
