Produktinformationen zu „Tunnel People / PM Press (ePub)“

Acclaimed war photographer and cultural anthropologist Teun Voeten gained unprecedented access to this netherworld. For five months in 1994 and 1995 he lived, slept and worked in the tunnel. With him, we meet Vietnam veterans, macrobiotic hippies, crack addicts, Cuban refugees, convicted killers, computer programmers, philosophical recluses and criminal runaways. Voeten describes their daily work, problems and pleasures with humor and compassion. He also witnessed the end of tunnel life. The tunnel people were evicted in 1996, but Amtrak and homeless organizations offered them alternative housing.

Some succeeded in starting again above ground, while others failed. In this updated version of the book, Voeten tracks down the original tunnel dwellers and describes what has happened in the thirteen years since they left the tunnels.

Autoren-Porträt von Tuen Voeten

Teun Voeten studied Cultural Anthropology and Philosophy in the Netherlands. An award winning photojournalist and author, he has worked covering the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Sudan, Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Afghanistan, Colombia, Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza. His work has been published in Vanity Fair, Newsweek, The New Yorker, and National Geographic among others. Voeten is a contributing photographer for organizations such as the International Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, Human Rights Watch and the United Nations. He has published three books in the Netherlands: Tunnel People, an journalistic/anthropological account of 5 months living in an underground community of homeless in New York; A Ticket To, a collection of Voeten's hard hitting war photography along with a much cited essay on war photography; and in 1998, Voeten went to Sierra Leone to work on a project on child soldiers. His first trip nearly ended in disaster when he was hunted down by rebels intent on killing him, but eventually resulted in the headline How de Body? Hope and Horror in Sierra Leone, published by Meulenhoff, Amsterdam in 2000. The English translation was published by St. Martins Press, New York, in 2002.
