SPANISH WORKERS
Photographs by David Bacon
These are photographs of Spanish workers, plus two Portuguese street sweepers on their way to lunch, carrying their straw brooms. Some show the workers who keep the great Moorish monuments clean, and repair the damage from the centuries on rooftops, the painted interior walls and the stone walkways. Few of us think about those who make it possible to understand the austere beauty of the Mezquita or the Alhambra, but this heritage of Islamic Spain would have long since crumbled without their labor. And like workers everywhere, the institutions they work for would have long ago cast them aside when they got old, if they didn’t demonstrate to defend their right to enough income to age in dignity themselves.
¡Que vivan las y los trabajadores de España y Portugal!

BOOKS – LIBROS
MORE THAN A WALL / MAS QUE UN MURO
More Than a Wall / Mas que Un Muro explores the many aspects of the border region through photographs taken by David Bacon over a period of 30 years. These photographs trace the changes in the border wall itself, and the social movements in border communities, factories and fields. This bilingual book provides a reality check, to allow us to see the border region as its people, with their own history of movements for rights and equality, and develop an alternative vision in which the border can be a region where people can live and work in solidarity with each other. – Gaspar Rivera-Salgado
David Bacon has given us, through his beautiful portraits, the plight of the American migrant worker, and the fierce spirit of those who provide and bring to us comfort and sustenance. — Lila Downs
