Sarajevo Self-Portrait: The View from the Inside

by Leslie Fratkin, Tom Gjelten

Sarajevo Self-Portrait presents the work and words of nine photographers from a country in the aftermath of war. Created with what little film they had, in ruined darkrooms without electricity or running water, the photographs in this book are not only hard proof of the destruction and the suffering of this once-beautiful country but a salute to its indomitable spirit. For a country so brutally torn apart by racial conflict and hate, and for the rest of the world which largely ignored Bosnia's cries for help, Sarajevo Self-Portrait offers an authentic view of Bosnia in a completely new way - through the eyes of those actually living inside it.
