In spite of urbanization and commercialization, the Hawaiian Islands have managed to retain what used to be called "soul: " culture and behavior as spontaneous expressions of humanity.

Each picture in this collection represents a person, place or event that spoke to me in some way, and provided reassurance that Island Soul survives and thrives even in unlikely places.

I hope that viewing them gives you a sense of happiness and harmony, a feeling of Island Soul.

In this landmark work of photo-journalism, activist and photographer David Bacon documents the experiences of some of the hardest-working and most disenfranchised laborers in the country: the farmworkers who are responsible for making California "America's breadbasket." Combining haunting photographs with the voices of migrant farmworkers, Bacon offers three-dimensional portraits of laborers living under tarps, in trailer camps, and between countries, following jobs that last only for the harvesting season. He uncovers the inherent abuse in the labor contractor work system, and drives home the almost feudal nature of laboring in America's fields. Told in both English and Spanish, these are the stories of farmworkers exposed to extreme weather and pesticides, injured from years of working bent over for hours at a time, and treated as cheap labor. The stories in this book remind us that the food that appears on our dinner tables is the result of back-breaking labor, rampant exploitation, and powerful resilience.

America's dry southwestern climate preserves untold numbers of rock art sites within its far-flung network of canyons, cliffs and caves. It's a poetic domain of holy people and ceremonies in a magical land of earth and sky. The Native art in this booklet ranges from America's oldest (10,500-14,800 years old) to a recent Navajo sand-painting created and then ritually destroyed as a necessary part of a healing ceremony in 1993. My painter-wife, Erma Martin Yost, and I were struck by the beauty of this rugged region when we first visited in 1976 and now, after four decades, we continue to return whenever we can. We typically fly to Albuquerque, Grand Junction or Las Vegas and then point our rental car in the direction of the Four Corners, taking in the wide vistas so opposite of our eastern home. We follow the trail of the rock art and talk with locals, gaining a sense of understanding while making new discoveries. We know we will never see all the rock art or its secret canyon repositories but each site we visit offers its own clues to the riddles left by the first Americans. This booklet is a collection of images and stories gathered from 40-years walking, observing and photographing.
