Summary: Rare insight
Comment: Passport Photos is a beautiful book. Kumar uses photos, poetry and essays to give a rare insight into post-colonialism and immigration. Kumar's writing is helping to make the American people less ignorant to issues concerning immigration, cultural imperialism and patriotism.
Rating: 1
Summary: Extremely disappointing
Comment: Like author, I also have a similar background, and thought this book would make an interesting read. I was terribly disappointed. This book is the most vague book I have ever read.
The author has done extremely poor job. With his communist leanings, he should be thrown out of the west, the west that he tries to pander relentlessly in this "book".
Save your money!!

Summary: Good performance
Comment: I am a South Asian journalist living in New Jersey. Very little has been said about Amitava Kumar's photographs. They present different facets of our world. What is striking is that he frames the photographs, and one could argue, our world, in new and critical ways.
The South Asian Journalists Association organized a reading by Kumar at the Brecht Forum. I enjoyed the reading immensely, and when I read the book, I saw that book was also a performance -- which brought together the world of academia, art, and journalism.
