” Divided Soul” represents photojournalist David Alan Harvey`s 20-year journey through the Spanish & Portuguese diaspora. In this selection of over 100 colour photographs Harvey explores the exuberance & incongruities of Hispanic life & culture that hold for him an endless fascination. As a young photographer Harvey was sent by ” National Geographic” to Guatemala & Mexico to document a story on the Maya & the conquistadors, which ignited a personal passion & led him to pursue assignments around the Hispanic world. Supported over the years by ” Magnum” & by ” National Geographic”, Harvey has photographed in Spain, Portugal & throughout the New World, including Cuba, Mexico, Honduras, Brazil & Chile, amassing an extensive body of work that bears witness to his continued engagement with the impact of the forced blending of cultures. Harvey`s evocative photographs are presented within three thematic chapters
- ” Ritual”, ” Place” & ” Reverie”
- each of which is introduced with a personal text written by Harvey. The passionate & divided soul of the Spanish- & Portuguese-speaking world, where tradition & ritual are inherent to everyday life, is revealed in these photographs of pulsating carnivals in Trinidad, fervent religious ceremonies in Brazil, & intense Easter parades in Puerto Rico. Adopting an approach that combines intuition, patience & persistent curiosity
- together with a rejection of fancy equipment
- Harvey succeeds in minimizing the distance between himself & his subjects, producing images that capture the natural choreography of people within places & that resonate with magic.

We feel more divided than ever. This riveting analysis tells you why. Walls are going up. Nationalism & identity politics are on the rise once more. Thousands of miles of fences & barriers have been erected in the past ten years, & they are redefining our political landscape. There are many reasons why we erect walls, because we are divided in many ways: wealth, race, religion, politics. In Europe the ruptures of the past decade threaten not only European unity, but in some countries liberal democracy itself. In China, the Party’s need to contain the divisions wrought by capitalism will define the nation’s future. In the USA the rationale for the Mexican border wall taps into the fear that the USA will no longer be a white majority country in the course of this century. Understanding what has divided us, past & present, is essential to understanding much of what’s going on in the world today. Covering China; the USA; Israel & Palestine; the Middle East; the Indian Subcontinent; Africa; Europe & the UK, bestselling author Tim Marshall presents a gripping & unflinching analysis of the fault lines that will shape our world for years to come.
