After leaving the newspaper world to go freelance, Nobuo Nakamura turned his lens on Harlem in the mid-’80s. This photobook is a stark series of portraits and street scenes exposing the realities of drugs, prostitution, murder, and unemployment.
One of the rare Japanese photobook of the era devoted entirely to Harlem.
