List of photobooks by photographer Meiselas, Susan

Susan Meiselas is an American photographer, member of Magnum Photos since 1976.

Her first striking work, about female strippers in New England fairs in the United States, was published in an many-times reprinted and republished book titled "Carnival Strippers" (Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1976), with a French edition "Strip-tease forain" (Chêne, 1977).

Prior to this work, she had started in the seventies working on a project photographing girls and young female teenagers in the neighborhood of Little Italy in New York City; a project later known as "Prince Street Girls".

Starting at the end of the 1970s, she focuses on the Sandinist and wider Latin-American revolutions. She publishes in 1981 the much celebrated "Nicaragua" (English version with Pantheon, French version with Herscher), one of the first photobooks in color chronicling war.

Among her other projects, she has worked on the Kurdish identity and in Salvador, Chile, Papua-New-Guinea among other locations.

Among her more recent publications: "En première ligne" a career retrospective published on the occasion of a large exhibition at Jeu de Paume, Paris (Editions Xavier Barral, 2017), "Tar Beach - Life on the rooftops of Little Italy" (Damiani, 2020) and "Eyes Open - 23 idées photographiques pour enfants curieux" (Delpire, 2021).
