Description
This title features stunning photos augmented by J. Hobermans preface and Katarzyna Marciniaks essays. This powerful presentation of photographs of Poland from the late 1980s to the present depicts the hybridized landscape of this pivotal Eastern European nation following its entry into the European Union. A visual record of the countrys transition from socialism to capitalism, it focuses on the industrial blue-collar city of Lodz - located in the heart of New Europe and home to nearly one million people. Photographer Kamil Turowskis pictures are captivating - seeming to conceal a looming threat - while Katarzyna Marciniaks accompanying text expands on the photos and the crocodilian texture of contemporary Eastern Europe. A walk on the wild side, Streets of Crocodiles captures viscerally the changing landscape of postsocialist Poland.
