Reviews and opinions 
 

There has been no shortage of reviews over the years. Here is a little selection of those that could be optically scanned. 




Reviews of Jacob Holdt's museum exhibitions ....and life

Reviews from his exhibitions in mostly Europe in recent years

Reviews of the book 
As the book has never been officially published in America (my intention was to give the homeless and street people a chance to sell it), there have been very few reviews in the media. But many universities use the book as a textbook and often send copies of the students' writings back to Jacob Holdt.

American students reactions to the slide show 
In many colleges students have been writing papers in classes about the show and hundreds have sent letters to Jacob Holdt. They often talk openly about the pain the show gave them as a result of their racist upbringing.
