Jean-Pierre Laffont came to the United States from France in 1964 and found his subject in a country questioning its own rules. Drawn from his work of the 1960s through the 1980s, the photographs in Rebels with a Cause move between antiwar demonstrations, civil rights activism, women’s liberation and the communities that formed beyond the American mainstream. Laffont’s eye for individuals gives this broad history an intimate scale. More than a chronicle of protest, the book preserves the faces, gatherings and everyday gestures of a restless era.
