From Library Journal:
This intriguing book of photographs juxtaposes two economic classes in a manner that highlights their similarities as well as their differences. Both classes, poor and rich, are seen in their homes, by turns squalid and opulent. All the subjects, however, appear alienated, vulnerable, and insecure. The visual information is expanded upon by comments the subjects themselves have written under their portraits, comments that make the impact of the pictures even stronger. These remarkably frank statements, each reproduced in the subject's own hand, reflect highly personal feelings about self-image, family, hopes, and fears. Goldberg's afterword does little to illuminate his purpose in creating these images, but that will not diminish the viewer's interest. Frank Schroth, Technology Training Assocs., Cambridge, Mass.

Book Description Zweite Auflage. * Jim Goldberg (born 1953) is an American artist and photographer, whose work reflects long-term, in-depth collaborations with neglected, ignored, or otherwise outside-the-mainstream populations. Among the many awards Goldberg has received are three National Endowment of the Arts Fellowships in Photography, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Henri Cartier-Bresson Award, and the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. His works have been exhibited, published, and collected internationally. Goldberg is Professor Emeritus at the California College of the Arts, and has been a member of the Magnum Photos agency since 2002. He currently lives and works in the greater Bay Area. His 1985 book Rich and Poor, re-released by Steidl in an expanded edition in 2014, includes photographs of people in their homes along with handwritten comments by them about their lives. For example, the handwriting under the photograph reproduced on the front cover reads "I keep thinking where we went wrong. We have no one to talk to now, however, I will not allow this loneliness to destroy me, I STILL HAVE MY DREAMS. I would like an elegant home, a loving husband and the wealth I am used to. Countess Vivianna de Bronville." Although the book received one mixed review shortly after publication, other reviews were positive, and it was later selected as one of the greatest photobooks of the 20th century (see Wikipedia).
