WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Passport Photos is a sensuous guide to the common contradictions and experiences faced by immigrants to the U.S., whether they are coming from the underside of the international division of labor or from well-heeled and credentialed birthrights. An undeniably original contribution to several academic and journalistic fields. (Andrew Ross, New York University)  — Andrew Ross

Michael Bérubé, author of Life as We Know It
An important, timely, and unique book that seems to have multiple lines of descent—as if postcolonial theory were cross-pollinated with poetry, photojournalism, and memoir all at once. — Michael Berube
