In 1983, Baldwin Lee left his home in Knoxville, Tennessee, and took a 4 × 5 view camera on a series of road trips through the American South.

Filming subjects are black Americans at home, at work, on playgrounds, in the streets, and in nature.

The project detained Lee, a first-generation Chinese American, for 10 years and forever changed his perception of his country, his people and himself.

The archive that emerged from the last 7 years contains nearly 10,000 black and white negatives.

This is a monograph of 88 photographs edited by photographer Barney Kulok, plus an interview with Lee by curator Jessica Bell Brown and an essay by author Casey Gerald.

Nearly 40 years after Lee began his journey, this book reveals the writer's unique commitment to depicting American life, resulting in one of the most incisive and poignant works of the era.
