Internationally renowned photographer Sebastiao Salgado, whose previous book "Workers" changed forever the image of manual labour around the world, has now turned his attention to the staggering phenomenon of mass migration. In photographs taken over seven years and across more than thirty-five countries, "MIGRATIONS" documents the epic displacement of the world's people at the close of the twentieth century. "MIGRATIONS" documents the world-altering phenomenon of mass migration. Salgado's images collectively serve as a metaphor for the hundreds of million people who, in an elemental struggle for survival, have ruptured their ties with land and tradition in a flight toward other destinies. With his unique vision and empathy, Salgado gives us a clearer picture of the enormous social and political transformations now occurring in a world divided between excess and need. There are an estimated 100 million migrants in the world today. This extraordinary level of demographic change is unparalleled in human history and presents profound challenges to the most basic notions of nation, culture, community, and citizenship. "MIGRATIONS" follows Latin Americans entering the United States, Jews leaving the former Soviet Union, Africans travelling into Europe, Kosovars fleeing into Albania, and many other displaced and migrant populations. A totally mind-blowing book, that captures unique and harrowing moments in life.
