"The Yanomami Struggle" is a photobook by Claudia Andujar, a leading Brazilian female photographer. Born in Switzerland in 1931, she lived in Hungary and Romania before moving to the United States. After studying humanities at a university in New York, she moved to Brazil in 1956 and began working as a photojournalist in the 1960s. In the 1970s, she began to document the natural environment and indigenous peoples of the Amazon region, while also working to protect nature and ethnic rights. This series of documents came to fruition in 1978 as a photobook titled "Amazonia," which is highly regarded as Andujar's masterpiece and a treasured photobook of the 20th century. This book focuses on the Yanomami, an indigenous Amazonian people that Andujar has supported and protected for many years, and was published during an exhibition held at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in 2020. The book also celebrates Andujar's longstanding contributions to the art of photography, human rights, and the preservation of environmental and cultural diversity.
