About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Villard Books a Division of Random House, 2000. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Fresh out of college and passionate about photography, Deborah Copaken Kogan moved to Paris in 1988 and began knocking on photo agency doors, begging to be given a photojournalism assignment. Within weeks she was on the back of a truck in Afghanistan, the only woman - and the only journalist - in a convoy of mujahideen, the rebel 'freedom fighters' at the time. She had traveled there with a handsome but dangerously unpredictable Frenchman, and the interwoven stories of their relationship and the assignment set the pace for Shutterbabe’s six chapters, each covering a different corner of the globe, each linked to a man in Kogan’s life at the time. From Zimbabwe to Romania, from Russia to Haiti, Kogan takes her readers on a heartbreaking yet surprisingly hilarious journey through a mine-strewn decade, seamlessly blending her personal battles - sexism, battery, life-threatening danger - with the historical ones - wars, revolution, unfathomable suffering - it was her job to record. 300 pages. Some light rubbing on top & bottom & edges of spine and some places on outside edges..
