By Daphne Howland (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Feb 2015

Review of Tanzania: A Journey Within (2014)

By Daphne Howland (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Apr 2014

Review of The Activist (2014)

By Daphne Howland (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 Mar 2014

Review of Papirosen (2014)

By Daphne Howland (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Jan 2014

Review of The Human Scale (2012)

By Daphne Howland (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Oct 2013
