Jerome Krase

In 2019 alumnus Jerome Krase documented his visual excursions including Amman, Jordan as well as Paris and Lyons, France. Below are a few of his images from his well-received book Seeing Cities Change: Local Culture and Class (Routledge 2017).

2000, I visited Cape Town not long after the end of Apartheid. Unfortunately, many South Africans were still confined by poverty to informal settlements. I offer this image in black and white for its starker visual effect.

2007, When most people think of gentrification, Istanbul doesn’t spring to mind, but it, as so many other global cities, is undergoing upscaling in its historical center. This area has remnants of its Ottoman/Victorian Era wooden buildings.

2011, I am very interested in what I call “Ethnic Theme Parks.” Little Italy and Chinatown are two of the most ubiquitous examples. This multiethnic “Chinatown” in Belleville, Paris was changing rapidly when I photo-surveyed the street.
