About
Exactly 100 years after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and fifty years after Larry ClarksTULSAcame out (it was first published in 1971), Victor dAllant returns to Oklahoma and revisits this seminal work, one that quickly became a reference book in documentary photography.
A visual anthropologist born in Paris and currently living in San Francisco, Victor dAllant interviewed all his sitters before taking his camera out. In this book, he shares their stories along with their pictures. The result: a vision of the U.S. that can sometimes be heartbreaking, sometimes also quite hopeful.
In her introductory essay,TULSA, NOT OK, Julie Winter, a Tulsa-based Latina drug dealer (and single mother of two), shares her personal story and how this book came to be: I took Victor to the small streets and back alleys around Tulsas newly renovated arts district, along Brady Street. This is the heart of Tulsa on a Friday night.Thats where he took many of these photographs…
