Christopher Morris<br />

Americans<br />

Americans is the second book in a series on America by Christopher Morris. While the first book My America (<strong>Steidl</strong>,<br />

2006) focused on Republican nationalism, Americans takes a much broader journey across American society. With an<br />

empathetic and critical eye, Morris presents a nation in a state of perpetual loss and its people searching for an identity<br />

– stranded within two long-running wars and an economy on the verge of collapse.<br />

Christopher Morris, born in California in 1958, began his career as a documentary conflict photographer, working<br />

almost exclusively with Time magazine, where he has been on contract since 1990. Parallel to his career as a photojournalist,<br />

Morris has recently expanded into the fashion world, working for such clients as Roberto Cavalli and magazines<br />

on the collections of Louis Vuitton, Prada and MaxMara. Morris has received many awards including the Robert<br />

Capa Gold Medal, the Olivier Rebbot Award, and the Infinity Award for photojournalism from the International Center<br />

of Photography. Morris is a founding member of the photojournalist agency VII in New York.<br />
