€ 134,00
Hardcover - One of the high points of 20th-century photojournalism: the Smith's documented the effects of mercury--discharged by a Chisso factory into the town's water and food supply--on the population and the Japanese government and Chisso's attempt to hide those effects. See Roth, Book of 101 Books, p.232.
This book documents the devastating environmental and human consequences of industrial mercury pollution in Minamata, Japan. Through a combination of evocative photography by W. Eugene Smith and narrative text by W. Eugene Smith and Aileen M. Smith, it chronicles the suffering of the local population and their resilience in seeking justice. The work serves as both a historical record of an ecological disaster and a profound study of human courage.
