Facing history : portraits from Vancouver examines the inhabitants of a city through the camera-art of its greatest artists. Featuring a wide range of material, from historical images to documentary depictions to contemporary visual artists' work, the book provides an intimate glimpse into Vancouver's sense of itself, and how representations of the face and the body can stand for cultural identity. Facing history presents portraits from Vancouver that focus on the themes of family and community, youth, art and life, work and play, the street, public life, and the life of the mind.
