Böcker av Jason Francisco

Far from Zion is a photographic exploration of the contradictory meanings of the Jewish diaspora at the end of the passing century.

When, in 1907, Alfred Stieglitz took a simple picture of passengers on a ship bound for Europe, he could not have known that "The Steerage", as it was soon called, would become a modernist icon and, from today's vantage, arguably the most famous photograph made by an American photographer. This title reassesses this important picture.
