Résumé:
New York City in the 1970s was a world away from the shiny, modern metropolis we see today. The city was facing serious challenges—budget cuts, rising crime, and entire neighbourhoods falling into neglect. For many, it was a tough time, but for photographer Camilo José Vergara, it was an opportunity to document a city in transition. His street photography captured the highs and lows of urban life, showing us not just the struggles, but also the creativity and determination of the people who called New York home.

Résumé:
The New American Ghetto provides, through photographs and text, an exploration, over nearly two decades, of ghettos in New York, Newark, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, and smaller cities. The author has taken successive photographs of the same places, tracking change over time - changes that have made the conditions of today's ghettos very different from those of an earlier era. Vergara's interviews with residents and historical research contribute to his unique view of the nature and meaning of the inner city.

Résumé:
Photographer Camilo José Vergara has been chronicling the neighborhood for forty-three years, and Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto is an unprecedented record of urban change. Vergara began his documentation of Harlem in the tradition of such masters as Helen Levitt and Aaron Siskind, and he later turned his focus on the neighborhood’s urban fabric, both the buildings that compose it and the life and culture embedded in them. By repeatedly returning to the same locations over the course of decades, Vergara is able to show us a community that is constantly changing—some areas declining, as longtime businesses give way to empty storefronts, graffiti, and garbage, while other areas gentrify, with corporate chain stores coming in to compete with the mom-and-pops.
