“Bussard moves through the broadness of her subject with ease, and her insights make it clear that, in the right hands, her suggested mode has much to offer.

“Bussard has found and deftly attended to one of the most glaring gaps in discussions about photography today . . . I hope there will be more books like this one. We really need them.”—<i>Conscientious Photo Magazine</i>

Bussard’s lively and engaging text, a timely response to a growing interest in urban photography, challenges the traditional understanding of street photography and makes original and important connections among urban culture, social history, and the visual arts, constructing a new historical model for understanding street photography. Illustrated with more than one hundred images, this book provides an interpretation of a compelling genre that is as fresh as its consideration of the city streets themselves, sites of commerce, dispossession, desire, demonstration, power, and spectacle.
