Summary

"Barry Schwabsky's brief afterword succinctly states the aims of Daniela Rossella in her startling book Ricas y famosas (Rich and Famous): 'She focuses her ethnographic gaze not on the daily lives of the humble and their immemorial customs and traditions, but rather on her own class, the oligarchs whose economic and political power keeps the humble in place.' ... Unless one knows the world, and it is clearly a private one to which Rossell had privileged access, one cannot tell whether these supreme examples of the excessively rich are any more representative of their class than a billionaire with a penchant for several Minimalisms, but Rossell gives us what we hope and expect. ... If a photobook could start a proletarian revolution this might be it, and it has proved somewhat controversial in Mexico."--The Photobook : A History Volume II / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. London : Phaidon, 2004.
