Since 1978; French photographer Frédéric Brenner has been chronicling the Jewish Diaspora by producing visual social histories of Jewish communities. Diaspora is a photographic record of his 25-year search for the Jewish population in 40 countries over five continents. Volume I; 344 pages; is a collection of 262 of Brenner's more than 80;000 photographs; the most extensive and diverse visual record of Jewish life ever created. A four page color insert includes two full-color photographs. Volume II is 164 pages of evocative essays by leading intellectuals on the meaning and significance to each of them of 60 of Brenner's photographs; reproduced here in smaller format. Diaspora is a landmark project that captures the scope and dynamism of one of the world's oldest; most diverse communities; and challenges stereotypes held by Jews and non-Jews alike.
