The photographs in this project were made in the African Hebrew Israelite community of Dimona, Israel. It was established more than 35 years ago by a group of African Americans from the Chicago area. They left the U.S. in 1967, lived in Liberia for more than two years, and settled in Israel's Negev desert. The images in this portfolio describe various aspects of daily life.   Pictures from a New World: An African American Village in Israel is an extension of my other works that address the historical traditions of African American communities including; Small Towns, Black Lives: African American Communities in Southern New Jersey and Schools for the Colored: Up-South, Between the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean. The photographs are a continuation of my involvement with the various iterations of community and identity for African Americans.
