Margo Davis’s travels have exposed her to the diversity in the world and sensitized her to respond humanly to all cultures on the globe. Growing up Jewish in an all WASP environment in Connecticut set her apart from early on; her drive to relate to “the other” came from this time. Accompanied by essays on growing up in a world that doesn’t always acknowledge or accept mixed race people, Within One Soul will be as intellectually stimulating as it is visually stimulating.
Davis’s specialty is fine art environmental portraiture of people from all over the globe. She has spent over 40 years traveling in order to photograph ordinary people in countries as diverse as Norway and Brazil, Japan and Mexico, Cambodia and Morocco and Nigeria and Hungary. Her books include: Antigua Black; Portrait Of An Island People,Scrimshaw Press, 1973; Women Writers Of The West Coast, Capra Press, 1980; and Under One Sky,Stanford University Press, 2004.
