Book excerpt: "Somali sideways has got to be one of the ground breaking creative projects ever created by a Somali for Somalis only. It shares powerful, sad, funny and hopeful global stories of Somalis. I was honoured to have been part of the work Mohamed created and it gave me the opportunity to share my journey with many other Somalis around the world." - Leyla Hussein; Lead Social Activist, Psychotherapist, Writer. "I think Somali Sideways was the first platform that allowed Somalis to connect with and be inspired by stories of strangers from around the world. I think the images of Somalis standing sideways were very powerful. To me it felt like they were allowing us into their lives but at the same time reminding that there is a lot more to them that we don't know." - Haweya Ismail; Founder of MUD & MUSK "Mohamed Mohamud is one of the smartest, inspiring and hardworking leaders you will ever meet. When Mohamed started Somali Sideways to shape the narrative and showcase positive images of the Somali experience globally, there were not many platforms that filled the need Mohamed saw. Mohamed was a young man ahead of his time. Hundreds of people have reached out to him to share their life experiences from all corners of the world. Somali Sideways brought us stories of Somalis in places we never imagine finding Somalis in the first place. With this book, Mohamed has chosen some of the best and inspiring stories that he hopes to share with the world." - Guled Ibrahim; Rotary Peace Fellow and One Young World Ambassador

Download or read book Picturing Place written by Joan Schwartz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-30 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of photography opened up new worlds to 19th century viewers, who were able to visualize themselves and the world beyond in unprecedented detail. But the emphasis on the photography's objectivity masked the subjectivity inherent in deciding what to record, from what angle and when. This text examines this inherent subjectivity. Drawing on photographs that come from personal albums, corporate archives, commercial photographers, government reports and which were produced as art, as record, as data, the work shows how the photography shaped and was shaped by geographical concerns.

This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PICTURES ON THE RADIO compiles the work of David Gilkey, a celebrated conflict photographer who helped NPR bring vivid life to big and small stories with global impact. Known for chronicling pain and beauty in war and conflict, he was on assignment in Helmand, Afghanistan in 2016 when he and NPR's Afghan interpreter, Zabihullah Tamanna were killed by a Taliban ambush of their convoy. Considered one of the best photojournalists in the world, his death made headlines around the country and the globe. The nine chapters in PICTURES ON THE RADIO include photographs from assignments in Afghanistan, Haiti, and Gaza covering war, natural disasters, and political strife, but also a surreal journey on the tran-Siberian railroad, a voyage down the Ganges, and coverage of American war-veterans showcasing Gilkey's range as a photojournalist whose work captured the strength and fragility of our humanity and our planet. An essay by NPR correspondents--including Jason Beaubien, Ari Shapiro, David Greene, Julie McCarthy, and Eric Westervelt--who accompanied David on assignment introduces each chapter of award-winning photographs and an afterword by Alyda Gilkey paints a portrait of the man behind the camera. PICTURES ON THE RADIO continues David Gilkey's lifelong mission of connecting Americans to the frontlines far beyond their shores. The drama, beauty and dignity of his subjects continue to move the heart and the conscience.

Download or read book America Made Me a Black Man written by Boyah J. Farah and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAACP Image Award Nominee · NPR Best Book of 2022 A searing memoir of American racism from a Somalian-American who survived hardships in his birth country only to experience firsthand the dehumanization of Blacks in his adopted land, the United States. “No one told me about America.” Born in Somalia and raised in a valley among nomads, Boyah Farah grew up with a code of male bravado that helped him survive deprivation, disease, and civil war. Arriving in America, he believed that the code that had saved him would help him succeed in this new country. But instead of safety and freedom, Boyah found systemic racism, police brutality, and intense prejudice in all areas of life, including the workplace. He learned firsthand not only what it meant to be an African in America, but what it means to be African American. The code of masculinity that shaped generations of men in his family could not prepare Farah for the painful realities of life in the United States. Lyrical yet unsparing, America Made Me a Black Man is the first book-length examination of American racism from an African outsider’s perspective. With a singular poetic voice brimming with imagery, Boyah challenges us to face difficult truths about the destructive forces that threaten Black lives and attempts to heal a fracture in Black men’s identity.
Download or read book Mogadishu Then and Now written by Rasna Warah and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mogadishu was once one of the prettiest and most cosmopolitan cities in Africa. The city has a long history that dates back to the 10th century when Arab and Persian traders began settling there. For centuries, Mogadishu was a traditional centre for Islam and an important hub for trade with communities along the Indian Ocean coastline. However, since the beginning of the civil war in the early 1990s, Somalia's capital city has gained the reputation of being the most dangerous and violent city in the world. Mogadishu Then and Now is an attempt to redeem the city's damaged reputation and restore its lost glory in the public imagination and in the Somali people's collective memory. The book showcases Mogadishu in all its splendour prior to the civil war and contrasts this with the devastation and destruction that has characterised the city for more than two decades. It should be of particular interest to historians, urban planners, architects and and anthropologists.
Download or read book Regarding the Pain of Others written by Susan Sontag and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, clear-eyed consideration of the visual representation of violence in our culture--its ubiquity, meanings, and effects. Considered one of the greatest critics of her generation, Susan Sontag followed up her monumental On Photography with an extended study of human violence, reflecting on a question first posed by Virginia Woolf in Three Guineas: How in your opinion are we to prevent war? "For a long time some people believed that if the horror could be made vivid enough, most people would finally take in the outrageousness, the insanity of war." One of the distinguishing features of modern life is that it supplies countless opportunities for regarding (at a distance, through the medium of photography) horrors taking place throughout the world. But are viewers inured—or incited—to violence by the depiction of cruelty? Is the viewer’s perception of reality eroded by the daily barrage of such images? What does it mean to care about the sufferings of others far away? First published more than twenty years after her now classic book On Photography, which changed how we understand the very condition of being modern, Regarding the Pain of Others challenges our thinking not only about the uses and means of images, but about how war itself is waged (and understood) in our time, the limits of sympathy, and the obligations of conscience.
