Redeeming Calcutta takes a fresh look at one of Asia’s great cities, a metropolis of hope and decay that was once the Second City of the British Empire. In this storied colonial metropolis, National Geographic photographer and educator Steve Raymer discovers a city of high culture, leftist politics, and ambitions to reclaim its past grandeur. Raymer’s compelling photographs, coupled with a timely and detailed text, paint an inclusive and nuanced portrait of Calcutta, a city long neglected by Western journalists except for its poverty and sorrow.
