The Council invites its members, students, and educators to be our guests for an event featuring Greg Constantine, award-winning photographer and author, who will join us for a presentation, discussion and book signing of his critically acclaimed photography book Nowhere People, the third and capstone book in his ten-year project.
Nowhere People documents individuals and ethnic communities around the world who have had their citizenship stripped or denied from them by governments (mostly because of discrimination, racism & intolerance). As a result, up to ten million people worldwide are denied almost all fundamental rights, do not have citizenship to any country and are stateless. It is the third and capstone book of the project, Nowhere People, and was published in November 2015. The book was named a Notable Photo Book of the Year by Photo District News Magazine and one of the 10 Best Photo Books of 2015 by Mother Jones Magazine, which it has described as ¦among some of the best, most ambitious documentary projects of our time.
