About the Book

"Yasser Alwan's photographs express a profound humanitarian egalitarianism that is rare in the long history of art as a whole and almost unique in the relatively short history of photography."
Dr John Molyneux, Senior Art Theory Lecturer, University of Portsmouth

"These are wonderful photographs. They are very simple, the subjects shine out, and here is humanity without any sentimentality." Red Saunders, photographer & founder Rock Against Racism.
