Different Roots, Common Dreams
New Hampshire’s Cultural Diversity
Introduction by
Maggie Hassan, former NH Governor
Foreword by
John Isaac, former Chief, Photo Unit, United Nations
Journey Stories by
NH Immigrants
Photographs by
Becky Field
New Hampshire is 92% “white,” so few people have experienced the emerging cultural diversity in the Granite State.
Since 2012, photographer Becky Field has documented the lives of NH’s immigrants and refugees — weddings, funerals, workplaces, children at play, sacred ceremonies, and joyful celebrations.
Through Becky’s photographs and stories by NH’s refugees, this book tells of the journeys and celebrates the beauty and resilience of NH’s new American families.
