Publisher's Synopsis
A powerful expose of poverty in America. Photographed in Vidor, Texas, Rough Beauty explores the character and burden of a close-knit community branded by its past and its links to the Ku Klux Klan. Behind the stereotype is a town of bootstrappers struggling to get by against a background of crushing poverty reminiscent of the Depression. Dave Anderson is an award-winning photographer, widely tipped as a rising star in the international photo press, and worked for Bill Clinton at the White House.
