Student
reactions to the 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.
Reviews
of the book
Since the book has never been officially published in America (in order
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.
