      abstract = {Overview:  In the decades following World War II, an  independently minded, critically engaged form of  photojournalism began to flourish.  It was not destined for  the morning papers or exclusively for newsmagazines, and it  did not attempt to be neutral.  This kind of  photojournalism was self-assigned.  It declared its  independence from the mainstream media's editorial control,  and it was disseminated to the public through books,  exhibitions, articles, and, more recently, the Web.   Engaged Observers focuses on nine photographers who have  participated in the development of this documentary  approach.  Surveyed are Leonard Freed (Black in White  America), Philip Jones Griffiths (Vietnam Inc.), W. Eugene  Smith (Minamata), Susan Meiselas (Nicaragua: June 1978-July  1979), Mary Ellen Mark (Streetwise), Larry Towell (The  Mennonites), Sebastiao Salgado (Migrations), Lauren  Greenfield (Girl Culture), and James Nachtwey ("The  Sacrifice"). Each section opens with an introductory essay  that sets the work in its evolving historical context.},
