At this time, photography was undergoing a radical transformation as it sought to establish itself as an art form. The migrants, in turn, brought with them a broad spectrum of professional training and photographic skills. The camera served as a medium for engaging with the metropolis, reflecting on the experience of migration, building networks and simply surviving economically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to comprehensively analyse the complex relationships between photography and exile in the context of the metropolis of New York, Helene Roth takes a closer look at the creative achievements and heterogeneous perspectives, but also the setbacks of migrated photographers. From a transnational perspective, she engages with the socio-cultural, political and artistic developments of the 1930s and 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnglish translation of \u003ci\u003eUrban Eyes: Deutschsprachige Fotograf*innen im New Yorker Exil in den 1930er- und 1940er-Jahren\u003c\/i\u003e, Helen Roth (Wallstein Verlag 2023)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helene Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462704953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462704954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Helene Roth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580087877887,"sku":"9789462704954","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd42edba-14a5-4887-a619-58bfd181e8b7.jpg?v=1763878712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-eyes-helene-roth-9789462704954","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
