"America in Crisis (Hardcover)," a photobook by Magnum Photos, was a significant collaborative project conceived by photographer Charles Harbutt and Lee Jones, then head of Magnum's New York bureau, just before the 1968 US presidential election, and published in 1969. It featured contributions from renowned photographers such as Eve Arnold, Cornell Capa, Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, Burt Glinn, Philip Jones Griffiths, Danny Lyon, Constantine Manos, Don McCullin, Dennis Stock, Hiroji Kubota, and Mary Ellen Mark. The book documents the turbulent late 1960s America from multiple perspectives, covering topics such as the civil rights movement and racial discrimination, poverty, the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement, political conflict, and violence. The structure, beginning with "The American Dream," vividly highlights the ideals of a nation touting freedom and prosperity, and the profound contradictions that lay beneath them. The text is by Mitchel Levitas, who served for many years as a reporter and editor at the New York Times. More than just an anthology of photojournalism, this is a remarkable social document in Magnum's history, in which multiple photographers collaboratively examine a nation of their time.
