Review Quotes: What did Eudora Welty see that moved her to choose this moment to capture? In Exposing Mississippi, Annette Trefzer answers this question and goes beyond--contextualizing the time, place, and culture for Welty's exposures--to help readers of her book and viewers of Welty's photographs to an enlarged understanding of Mississippi.--Pearl Amelia McHaney, author of A Tyrannous Eye: Eudora Welty's Nonfiction and Photographs
