Reviews

In an homage to a space and time that have passed, but that remain as traces in the vivid depictions on display in this handsome and informative volume, Moore offers a love letter to photographers who looked past ideological doctrine (worker strikes and political protests are set aside) to teach viewers and to remind themselves how to regard their fellow New Yorkers with the dignity of concerned attentiveness. * Gotham Center * A stunningly perceptive narrative of the subject of Jewish street photographers. * Bill Aron *

Deborah Dash Moore's Walkers in a City, simultaneously earthy and elegant, is a stupendous achievement. * H-Net *
