Photo of the Week:
Peasant Uprising
The
Graduate School of Journalism hosts an exhibit of
Sebastão Salgado's work, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, until April 10, in North
Gate Hall, room 121. The photographs come from
Salgado's new book, "Terra." Inspired by the
Movement of Landless Peasants, a nationwide
organization struggling for land reform and social
change in Brazil, Salgado photographs scenes
depicting Brazil's heavy concentration of land
ownership: daily routines of Brazil's working men
and women, rural depopulation toward cities,
survival in overcrowded slums, conflicts about land
ownership, and landless peasants' struggles to
recover their lands, symbols of life, citizenship
and dignity.
