'The photographs confer a stoical dignity on these exiles from
America’s glossy promise, and notes from Black’s journals reveal
how compassionately he listened to their jaunty tales of woe' -
Observer
'[Black's] photographs are in stark black and white, and have an
almost lino- or woodcut feel to them. Their strong graphic quality
– the contrasts between black shadows and harsh sunlight – endow
his images with a sharp edge supremely appropriate for his subject'
- Morning Star
'An eye-opener' - Black & White Photography
