Residents and visitors know the city of Memphis by many namesBluff City, Big Shelby, Blues City, and the Good Samaritan of the Mississippi.In this new book of 122 fullcolor photographs, Larry E. McPherson captures the history and sense of place that make Memphis what it is often called today, the Crossroads of the MidSouth.Memphis brings to life the streets, buildings, and outskirts of the riverpowered city where sumptuous homes of cotton planters verged on rough shanties of slaves and later poor blacks, dock workers, and boatmen.McPherson's Memphis is an artistic rendering of the city's soul. His fullcolor photographs tap the entrepreneurial and creative energy of Sun Studios, Beale Street, Graceland, Cotton Row, and Federal Express. They focus on civil rights history in photographs of the Lorraine Motel, Mason Temple, and City Hall.This photographic panorama comprises all areas in and around Memphisthe downtown, the midtown, the suburbs, nearby farms, and surrounding natural areas along the Mississippi and Wolf riversand draws attention to the complex relationship between urban development and natural environment.The photographs include locations important to business, architecture, musical heritage, and the legacy of civil rights. Scenes of road building, suburban development, and the revitalization of the downtown dramatize the city's dynamic change in the twentieth century. In accompanying captions, the photographer turns an extra lens on history.Giving an overview to the splendid photography, the introductory essay by Charles Reagan Wilson, an esteemed scholar of southern cultures, recounts the history of the city's development and connects Memphis to the heart of the MidSouth.Larry E. McPherson is associate professor of art at the University of Memphis. His photographs have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the New Orleans Museum of Art.
