This book is the result of a delightful collaboration: filmmaker Lee Shulman, creator of *The Anonymous Project*, invited Omar Victor Diop, a Senegalese self-portrait artist, to step into the anonymous photographs in his collection of American slides from the 1950s and 1960s. Images of ordinary celebrations where we mainly see families from the privileged white middle class posing at the table to celebrate a birthday, at the beach, in the middle of a barbecue, or in front of their gleaming suburban homes. Omar Victor Diop thus intrudes into worlds where he was not invited, within the context of postwar segregationist America, as if he had always been part of the scene. Lee Shulman and Omar Victor Diop offer a new way to stir the mind and question representations, with humor. Their performance serves as a revelation.
