Six months after the publication of Maida’s first edition of Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal _______________- Americans, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned her dissent in the case Trump v. Hawaii, which restricted travel into the United States by people from several nations, or by refugees without valid travel documents. She stated that the Court's 5-4 ruling “redeploys the same dangerous logic underlying Korematsu [v. United States, 1944, upholding the exclusion of Japanese-Americans from the West Coast Military Area during World War II] and merely replaces one gravely wrong decision with another.” Sotomayor’s words echo the perspective of Maida’s 2018 monographic work from earlier that year, which also parallels recent immigration bans based on nationality to the experiences of Japanese-Americans in the United States during World War II, reiterating the value of revisiting Ansel Adams' most political project in the present.  In October 2020, on the eve of the U.S. Presidential election, Maida deployed political posters he created through the reworking of the pages of his first edition of this project by introducing political documents from all branches of the U.S. government. Maida mailed his posters directly to the institutions with a longstanding commitment to Adams’ work. Through this call to action, Maida extended his individual reconciliation of the history of the medium of photography to these museums and their own records and holdings.  With Born Free, Born Equal, Maida continues to illuminate the past’s timely relationship to the current social and political climate, highlighting the importance of revisiting historic art and archives with the knowledge and resources of today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51048962851089,"sku":"NIN9781734018097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52669070475537,"sku":"NLS9781734018097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1734018097.jpg?v=1751215981"},{"product_id":"things-r-queer-postcard-set-book-joseph-maida-9780999782132","title":"Things R Queer Postcard Set","description":"This uniquely designed postcard set features some of Joseph Maida’s most popular Things “R” Queer photographs from his popular Instagram feed @josephmaida.

Six contemporary photographers following in Robert Frank’s footsteps, are well aware of the inherent absurdity of photographing the entire United States. Instead of taking on the task alone, they are going at it together, working in collaboration while honing their individual perspectives. And in the process, they are forming a new wave in American photography.   This limited-edition, seven-book set brings together photographers Zak Krevitt, Molly Matalon, Corey Olsen, Pat O’Malley, Tim Schutsky, and Caroline Tompkins — through the books’ editor, Joseph Maida, their mentor and fellow artist, who taught them as undergraduate students at New York’s School of Visual Arts from 2010-2014.   Included in the set is a monographic volume by each photographer edited by Maida as well as a compilation book in which Maida constellates their work in a dynamic visual conversation through a thought-provoking edit and sequence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52821080342801,"sku":"NLS9781734018011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781734018011.jpg?v=1764331111"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-joseph-maida.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
