From the Inside Flap
Just as Walker Evans photographs helped America see the poverty of Appalachia, the vivid images in Outside the Dream will open our hearts to the deprivation that today afflicts not a region, but an entire generation. --Senator Bill Bradley
Stephen Shames is a tremendous asset to the disadvantaged children of this nation....His photographs have helped bring the plight of poor children to the mainstream public. --Marian Wright Edelman
Outside the Dream is an important work that forces us to look at the face of child poverty and ask ourselves, How can we let this happen? How can we see the children in this book and continue to ignore their suffering and call ourselves a moral people? --Harry Belafonte
Outside the Dream is often disturbing, sometimes hopeful, but always deeply moving.--Senator Edward Kennedy
Outside the Dream is the latest milepost in Steve Shames perilous journey of sharing the life of the endangered young. His work is in the tradition of Jacob Riis, Lewis W. Hine, Dorothea Lange, and Gene Richards. --Cornell Capa, Founding Director, International Center of Photography
