Read an Early Review of Refugee Hotel from Publisher’s Weekly

Posted on October 29, 2012

This week, we’re delighted to share an early review of Refugee Hotel, forthcoming December 2012 from Voice of Witness, by Publisher’s Weekly. The tenth title in the series, Refugee Hotel is a groundbreaking collection of photography and interviews from Gabriele Stabile and Juliet Linderman that documents the arrival of refugees in the United States. Evocative images are coupled with moving testimonies from people describing their first days in the U.S., the lives they’ve left behind, and the new communities they’ve since created.

To see why Publisher’s Weekly said “Beautiful…Linderman and Stabile resist the temptation to attempt an all-encompassing message, content to simply capture often ignored experiences” and to read the full review, click here.
