Review: Walkers in the City: Jewish Street Photographers of Midcentury New York by Deborah Dash Moore: Ithaca: Three Hills/Cornell University Press, 2023

The text focuses on *Walkers in the City: Jewish Street Photographers of Midcentury New York*, which examines the New York Photo League as a central force in mid-twentieth-century street photography, blending aesthetic innovation with social consciousness. The book highlights the League’s commitment to portraying authentic urban life, especially the working-class and multiethnic communities of New York, through diverse photographic styles and perspectives, including those of Jewish photographers. It explores themes such as ethnic identity, gendered social interactions, and the ethical challenges of representing difficult historical realities, exemplified by Vivian Cherry’s provocative images. The volume situates these photographers within broader cultural and historical contexts, offering a nuanced resource for research in photography history, urban studies, and Jewish cultural history.
