Small Town America: The Missouri Photo Workshops, 1949-1991

The University of Missouri's Photography Workshop grew out of Cliff Edom's desire to provide access to the life of a small town so photographers could develop their photojournalistic skills. It is now one of the most renowned programs in the country and has produced a number of top photojournalists. "These photographs, the best pictures selected from the Missouri Workshop's 43 years, are truly an historical record of the heartbeat of America."--the publisher.
