And/Or: Antonyms for Our Age, published in 1967, is a poignant photographic essay that uses visual juxtaposition to comment on the stark contradictions of the 1960s. Compiled by Marjorie Morris and Don Sauers, with a preface by renowned photo editor John G. Morris, the book is a classic example of "concerned photography."

The Visual Concept

The volume features work from some of the most influential photojournalists and documentary photographers of the 20th century, including:

• Larry Burrows and Horst Faas (capturing the Vietnam front lines).

• Bruce Davidson and Elliott Erwitt (capturing social nuances and street life).

• Dorothea Lange and Garry Winogrand.

Significance: At its core, And/Or is a powerful anti-war statement. By placing the "here" (domestic life) and the "there" (foreign conflict) side-by-side, it forces the reader to confront the ethical disconnect of a nation living in comfort while engaged in a brutal overseas conflict.
