Hide That Can brings together images taken over four years at Arlington House, Camden,a hostel which primarily accommodates male Irish emigrants, many of whom are afflicted by alcoholism. The book is a document of men living lives of quiet tragedy. Displaced from their home country and suffering disproportionately from mental and physical disabilities, many Irish emigrants live without families, jobs, or prospects. Accompanied by stories from these residents, the photographs in Hide That Can afford their subjects dignity in the midst of what seems to be an impossibly depressed community.MacGowan, Shane is the author of 'Deidre O'callaghan Hide that Can' with ISBN 9780954207984 and ISBN 095420798X.
