Description

Experience a landmark in photographic history with Ernest Cole: House of Bondage by Aperture. Originally published in 1967, this work is recognized as one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century. Cole, a Black South African photographer, documented the reality of apartheid during the 1950s and 1960s, often working at great personal risk to capture the truth of his environment. This reissue brings Cole's vital work to a new generation. This edition includes a chapter of previously unpublished work discovered in a recently resurfaced cache of negatives. By providing new context for these historical images, this book allows readers to engage with the subject matter in a modern way. It is an essential addition for collectors of photography monographs and those interested in the social history of South Africa.
