The Long Road Home in Africa: Famine to Reconciliation 1992-1996 by Yunghi Kim – Working up close and finding intimate and emotional glimmers of humanity in the darkest and bleakest of moments are hallmarks of Yunghi Kim's work. These four years of intense work in Africa were seminal chapters in Yunghi's life. As Boston Globe staff photographer, she was taken hostage in Somalia and, only days after being released, found the courage to return there to complete her assignment. She was exposed to the worst and best of mankind, and was always able to see the beauty of Africa and the people of Africa. Revisiting the work twenty years later has proven to be a humbling experience. Here: Baidoa, Somalia, 1992.
