Susan Hartman’s book,?City of Refugees, was recently published by Beacon Press.? For eight years, she followed three newcomers as they adapted to the old industrial city of Utica, New York. She has written cover stories and profiles for?The New York Times,?The Christian Science Monitor, and?Newsday.? Her?Jump Rope Girls?multi-media project documents a group of women she first profiled for?The Times?when they were talented double-Dutch jumpers on a troubled Brooklyn block. She has teamed up with some of the best American photographers, telling intimate stories about people and communities far from the mainstream. Her photo essays have focused on a Bronx salsa club, a Ghanaian prayer call, and a female boxer. She is the author of two books of poetry,?Dumb Show?and?El Abogado.
