O. N. Pruitt's Possum Town
Author: Berkley HudsonPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 146966271X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Photographer O. N. Pruitt (1891–1967) was for some forty years the de facto documentarian of Lowndes County, Mississippi, and its county seat, Columbus--known to locals as "Possum Town." His body of work recalls many FSA photographers, but Pruitt was not an outsider with an agenda; he was a community member with intimate knowledge of the town and its residents. He photographed his fellow white citizens and Black ones as well, in circumstances ranging from the mundane to the horrific: family picnics, parades, river baptisms, carnivals, fires, funerals, two of Mississippi's last public and legal executions by hanging, and a lynching. From formal portraits to candid images of events in the moment, Pruitt's documentary of a specific yet representative southern town offers viewers today an invitation to meditate on the interrelations of photography, community, race, and historical memory. Columbus native Berkley Hudson was photographed by Pruitt, and for more than three decades he has considered and curated Pruitt's expansive archive, both as a scholar of media and visual journalism and as a community member. This stunning book presents Pruitt's photography as never before, combining more than 190 images with a biographical introduction and Hudson's short essays and reflective captions on subjects such as religion, ethnic identity, the ordinary graces of everyday life, and the exercise of brutal power.

Book Description
This is a tale of life, defining everything that we are and hope to become, such as finding love, education, success, and security by overcoming adversities to find happiness. It begins with simple people who find love in the remote areas of Mississippi while hunting raccoons together. They are simple people with simple lives doing simple things. We all lust, we hunger, we suffer, we enjoy. At times, we are deceived. Sometimes, we learn the truth that is often concealed but is revealed to us by someone of higher intellect. We love, we play, we fight, and we rescue and are rescued. Regardless of others’ opinions, we eat what we like. We hunt even if it is nothing more than a bargain at a store. We are all victims of in flagrante delicto—the act of doing something wrong, especially like having illicit sex. You will perhaps find your own self while reading this story.

Her plans for a relaxing rebound are dashed when she realizes the cottage she’s renting belonged to the woman whose body was just found in the sand dunes. Detective Owen Breda is under intense pressure to solve this murder. Violent crimes are rising in his small town, and he can’t stand to see anyone else hurt…especially not the beautiful documentarian who keeps showing up at the precinct.
