Intrigued by the barrio and neighboring Little Village, he began to take photographs and would continue to do so off and on for the next fourteen years. D'Amato started with the public life of the neighborhood: women and children in the streets, open fire hydrants, and graffiti. But later - after he got to know the area's Mexican residents better - he was allowed to take more intimate photos of people at work, families at weddings and parties, and even gang members. \"Barrio\" collects ninety of these striking color images along with D'Amato's fascinating account of his time photographing Mexican Chicago and his acceptance - often grudging, after threatened violence - into the heart of the city's Mexican community. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul D'Amato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57629725589886,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/paul-d_amato-barrio-photographs-from-chicago_s-pilsen-and-little-village-front-cover.jpg?v=1782896536","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/products\/barrio-photographs-from-chicagos-pilsen-and-little-village","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
