AMERICANS REVISITED

“J. Michael Skaggs captured the very essence of what it means to be an American. Americans are cultural conundrums who gathered in one geographical region. To every person in the country, a shadow of history is attached and each is different. With these photographs, Michael overcomes the perceived battle between the majority and minority. He demonstrates the fact that in America, this battle is simply sensational and built upon stereotypes. (Caucasians are supposedly the majority. However, each white person is a mutt of many possible cultural heritages and racial discrimination is based on cultural differences.)” --Introduction by Megan D. Henson from Americans Revisited Volume I (Edgecliff Press, 2008)
