South Africa Documentary Photographs collection, 1940s-2007 and undated.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37687344

The South Africa Documentary Photographs Collection consists of four series of photographs documenting South African social conditions under and after apartheid, dating from approximately the 1940s-2007: Beyond the Barricades, The Cordoned Heart, Then and Now, and Underexposed. Each series originated in an exhibition, book, or project developed jointly by Duke University and South African institutions. The collection represents work by 45 South African photographers, many of whom were members of Afrapix, a collective photography agency that was politically active in the 1980s, or were otherwise active in documenting anti-apartheid struggle. The fourth series, "Underexposed," includes the older photographs dating from the 1940s and 1950s.
