The title refers to the historical street gang known as White Fence that has held established territory in Boyle Heights since 1900. They were one of the most violent Eastside gangs of the 20th century and among the first to use weapons.\u003cbr\u003eStarting with the photographs that Iturbide took in 1986 on assignment for the magazine \u003ci\u003eA Day in the Life of America\u003c\/i\u003e and culminating in a reunion in 2019, this publication is divided into two volumes, housed in a slipcase. The first book presents the series of images captured in 1986, 1989, 2018 and 2019. The second volume includes the essay \u003ci\u003eWhite Fence Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e by Alfonso Morales Carrillo describing both the development of this photographic series and the historic background it ultimately conveys: the formation and persistence of communities of Mexican descent north of the Rio Grande. \u003ci\u003eWhite Fence\u003c\/i\u003e is an emotional visual journey through decades of history: an intimate exploration of identity that connects the past and present of this fascinating community in Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraciela Iturbide\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1942 in Mexico City.
