Summary
"In 2012, after hateful graffiti was scrawled on the side of refugee homes, New Hampshire photographer Becky Field decided to use her camera to show the vitality and diversity of the state's new Americans, to honor their determination and expertise, to raise awareness about the paths to resettlement, and to stimulate public dialog about immigration and inclusion"--, Publisher's descriptionNew Hampshire is 92% "white," yet this book of photographs showcases the state's vibrant cultural and ethnic diversity. For three years, photograher Becky Field has documented the lives of New Hampshire?s immigrants and refugees: families at home, children at play, workplaces, weddings, funerals, sacred ceremonies, and traditional celebrations. Through her photographs and stories by immigrants, this book tells of the journeys and celebrates the beauty and resilience of New Hampshire's new Americans
