《民权之旅》展现了多丽丝·德比博士令人惊叹的档案记录：她是一位摄影师、活动家及人类学教授。20世纪中叶，德比在美国南部，尤其是密西西比州的民权运动中非常活跃，她身兼摄影师、组织者和教师的多重身份，用镜头捕捉了日常生存与人权斗争中温馨且人性化的一面。她不仅记录了政治活动、会议和葬礼的组织情况，还拍摄了她创立或参与的扫盲项目、合作社和社区戏剧项目等，在此过程中，她屡遭危险与悲剧。

我们在此书中看到了那些定义了民权运动的演讲和抗议活动，以及包括穆罕默德·阿里、爱丽丝·沃克、范妮·卢·哈默和杰西·杰克逊在内的关键人物。我们还看到了教室和教堂大厅、医生和秘书：这些日常场景充满了欢乐、沮丧、好奇和联系，其中民权运动的决心、集体行动和毅力同样得到了体现。

这本内容丰富的著作按序列呈现了德比的摄影作品，这些作品记录了农村和城市的贫困状况，对特定街道和家庭进行了清晰的民族志描述，追踪了密西西比三角洲地区非裔美国儿童成长的日常生活，并见证了诸如杰克逊州立大学枪击案、马丁·路德·金博士的葬礼以及1968年民主党全国大会等关键事件。德比的摄影作品为我们描绘了一幅珍贵而丰富的历史时刻肖像，其影响塑造了当今世界，并强调了仍有待完成的工作的重要性。德比配以详尽的文字，叙述了照片中的事件。

A Civil Rights Journey presents the astonishing archive of Dr Doris Derby: photographer, activist, and professor of anthropology. Active throughout the Civil Rights Movements of the mid twentieth century in the southern United States, particularly Mississippi, Derby acted as a photographer, organiser and teacher, making photographs of the intimate and human side of the everyday struggle for survival and human rights. She photographed both the organisation of political events, meetings, and funerals, alongside the literacy, co-operative and community theatre programmes, many of which she founded, and encountered much danger and tragedy along the way.

Here we see the speeches and protests that gave the movement its defining moments, as well as vital figures including Muhammad Ali, Alice Walker, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Jesse Jackson. We also see classrooms and church halls, doctors and secretaries: everyday scenes of joy, frustration, curiosity, and connection, in which the determination and collective actions and resolve and actions of the movement are equally expressed.

This extensive volume presents Derby’s images in sequences that between them document rural and urban poverty, offer lucid ethnographies of particular streets and families, track the day-to-day lives of African American children growing up in the Mississippi Delta, and bear witness to such pivotal events as the Jackson State University shooting, the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr., and the 1968 Democratic Convention. Derby’s photographs offer us an invaluably rich portrait of a historical moment whose effects have defined today’s world and issues a vital reassertion of the work that remains to be done. Derby recounts the events photographed in extensive texts which accompany the images.
