Portraits of ‘whiteness’

World Update

Available for over a year

As an African-American woman in the US, Myra Greene is accustomed to thinking about race. So it surprised her to discover that many of her white friends and colleagues never think about their own racial identity. Myra is also a photographer, so she decided to address this issue through portraiture - she took pictures of her friends and put them in a book that's just come out, called "My White Friends".
