ATTENTION!
This page has been updated
August 2003:
The
book is now sold out and probably will not be reprinted again since I
cannot find the 45,000 dollars it will cost. In order to let the homeless
and people actually photographed in the book sell it themselves on the
street, it was always sold too cheap in America to make enough money for
reprints.
Instead
I will soon make it available online here on the website and work on an
updated version which - like the new multimedia-show - takes into account
the explosive growth of racism we are now seeing around the world. Since
I lost too much money on publishing the old book myself, the new one will
be offered to a major American publisher.
I regret that the book is
no longer available for the many schools using it in their curriculum.
Therefore, if you should happen to know of any grants which could help
finance a reprint, please let me know.
More urgently I am looking
for 15,000 dollars to help finance the digitalization of the 3000 slides
in order to make interactive educational DVD's and to put the actual mobile
multimedia show into video as I - after having spent 25 years on the American
highways in a van - am getting too old to continue carrying a ton of equipment
with me everywhere. It would be far easier hopping on the planes and run
the show from a laptop computer.
With love
Jacob Holdt
