[TOC] Foto8 nr. 27, spring/summer 2010 - Crosscurrent - Table of Contents

We cite from the EDITORIAL:
"RIP Motor City, farewell then, Motown. Detroit's illustrious past is lost to history and this rust belt city is now on the map for 50 per cent unemployment, its status as a "murder capital" and is infamous - to photographers in particular - for the faded grandeur of its abandoned buildings. And yet... countering these dismal trends are crosscurrents of possibility. What if Detroit reimagined itself as one of the first postindustrial cities? Or if the parking lots were torn up and paradise unpaved? There's a real chance that this city could reclaim the fertile land that once gave birth to factories and turn its gravid potential into homegrown food. Our special report with photographs by Christian Burkert and Jamie Mcgregor Smith and words by Mark Dowie sees how the land lies."
"By the time this issue is out, it's odds on that a new political leader will be installed in Downing
Street. Crosscurrents from the Tory regime that ended so memorably in 1997, as explored through
Lisa Barnard's work on the former Conservative Party Headquarters, have informed Labour policy
and will pervade the new regime with equal force. Elsewhere we look at different perspectives
within mainstream news stories - Peter Beaumont and Louis Quail on Haiti, Paul Hayward on the first African World Cup, Geert van Kesteren's new project on Gaza - along with those that are more
or less ignored in the press - Guinea-Bissau's collapse into lawlessness, Latvia's youth as they
try to find their footing, as well as a personal battle with schizophrenia in India."
