Mark Tuschman is a very patient man. To understand the plight of millions of women around the world, Mark spent ten years going from country to country, village to village, taking photos and documenting the stories of women and girls facing danger and humiliation almost every day of their lives. The result was "Faces of Courage, Intimate Portraits of Women on The Edge," a book endorsed by Jimmy Carter and women's groups all around the world. Named by American Photo as one of the top photo books of 2015, "Faces of Courage" helped raise our consciousness about women's issues, and his new book is destined to do the same for immigration in America. As Mark explains, all the immigrants he met affirmed their belief in freedom and in the enduring power of the American Dream. As Mark explains: "Some of the people I met came here as undocumented immigrants. Some came seeking asylum. Some came as DACA recipients, and still others came traditionally, in search of new lives and full citizenship. And without exception, each person I met expressed the desire to contribute to our society, and they came because they deeply admire our democratic values and ideals. Their stories moved me, every single one." Mark currently resides in Menlo Park, CA. See less
