A gorgeously illustrated photo essay focusing on the daily lives of the residents of Potosi. The center of silver production in South America in the 16th and 17th centuries, Potosi was notorious for its exploitation of the Quechua. Today much of their culture remains intact (silver is still mined on the mountain), and the city itself is a fallen monument to colonial architecture. This book features Ferry's evocative photographs and journal, and essay by Galeano -- an unusually moving portrait of the mountain, the people, and their history.  (BOL09, $45.00)
