Description:

"In 1998 I partnered with Amnesty International to create an exhibit and book celebrating the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Here are some of the people I photographed and interviewed. Some are experiencing their first contact with the outside world; some have survived exploitation and repression for years; some whose cultures have been decimated and are attempting a comebackpeople trying to hold on to their cultural identities at the edge of the world." - Phil Borges
