Through the Lens of an American Woman Alone in Cuba is a book of unique perspective, at a poignant time in history - a photojournalistic essay shot the week before President Barack Obama's unprecedented first step in Cuba. Contrasting images show both the beautiful and stereotypical iconic visuals one imagines, paired with more prevalent, raw and authentic photography that tells strong stories. Lisa Konczal's perspective as one of few Americans in Cuba, and rarity of being an American woman traveling there alone (oftentimes far from other tourists), is a particularly unique one and no doubt impacted the composition and messages ascertained in her photographs. A thought-provoking and informative collection of images touching on a variety of topics, and ultimately promoting human connection.
