Acerca del libro
To be human means to remain connected to our humanness and to the reality of the universe. It means to abandon the loneliness of being closed up in illusions, dreams and ideologies, frightened of reality, and to choose to move towards connectedness. To be human is to accept ourselves as we are, with our own history, and to accept others as they are.
– Jean Vanier, Becoming Human

Acerca del creador
Steve Pavey, PhD, is a documentary photographer, applied anthropologist and contemplative activist, all of which come together in the vocation of cultivating a way to see, in order to bear witness to the world both as it is, and as it could be. His creative process is deeply shaped by accompanying and being accompanied by humanity living on the margins of empire, documenting and making photos with those shrouded in “otherness” towards the goal of collective action and mutual liberation. Steve’s art focuses on hope – hope found in the struggle and dignity of becoming more human. He has worked in nearly 30 countries around the world, most recently in Honduras and Mexico.
