Full Description
Subways are a great
equalizer that supersede social barriers separating people in the
aboveground city. In his microcosmic portrayals
of everyday human dramas and performances, renowned photographer Herb Robinson profoundly captures
the interconnection and alienation of human beings underground and on
the move. Readers experience the excitement and extraordinary diversity
of three celebrated metropolises in motion. METRO / New York / London / Paris
tells a global-local story of immigrants and natives, showing how our
worlds are linked and enriched through our common humanity. Innovative concepts and design by Eve Sandler transport viewers forward in this subterranean
world. Woven
throughout, commentary by Lady Gaga,
James Baldwin, King George Vl, Coco Chanel, and others imparts historical
context, insider insights, and humor. METRO provides many meaningful
windows into the character of each city and its inhabitants, while
illuminating modern issues of identity, equality, and the human
condition.
