Title: This book is a visual lie.
Review: Danny Lyon has put together a collection of photographs that depict American Indians as the saddest and most hopeless people ever known to man. This supposed documentary photographer has obviously imposed his own visual aesthetic upon his subjects to exaggerate their poverty and despair. This collection of work is a pretentious "disease of the week" photo story. The only positive emotion found in these photos is the result of the reunion of a couple separated from each other by a prison sentence. Although American Indians face a plethora of problems they are among the most resilient people on the face of this earth. They smile, laugh and love, but Lyon chose to leave all of this out. It saddens me to see someone who has done admirable work in the past stoop to this level. Oh, by the way, Larry McMurty's introduction stinks as well. He states that drunken driving accidents are among the commonest of events on western American Indian Reservations.
