Description

Steve McCurry, best known for his iconic “Afghan Girl,” explores a different facet of the human condition in “Belonging.” This 144-page trade paperback features lushly colored photographs of Bangkok’s vibrant LGBTQ community. Published by The New Press, the book contrasts the inclusive “haven” promoted by the tourist industry with the daily realities of discrimination faced by local residents. It provides a soul-stirring look at people who have been marginalized by their original communities but have built powerful new lives and support systems, demonstrating the universal desire for acceptance and belonging.
