Just Released! - Brooklyn's Historic Brownsville

Brian Merlis and Riccardo Gomes are thrilled to announce the release of our latest effort, Brooklyn's Brownsville. Loaded with images recounting Brownsville's history as "America's Jerusalem" through the transformational impact of postwar urban planning and public housing, this limited-edition book is a rare photo document of one of Brooklyn's forgotten neighborhoods.

For those who not aware, we have collaborated on three successful prior books, Brooklyn's East New York and Cypress Hills (2010), Brooklyn's Bushwick and East Williamsburgh (2012) and Brooklyn's Historic Greenpoint (2015).

Our photographs span Brownsville's history, from the time it was one of the largest Jewish communities in America, through the heavy post-war African-American migration and the failed attempts at urban renewal.
