Exciting news for award-winning photographer Zoe Strauss and City Paper's own Daniel Denvir! The two have won a $10,000 immigration reporting grant from the French-American Foundation. They'll be using it, over the next few months, to assemble a photographic and written report from Philadelphia and Detroit: a portrait of immigrant life in de-industrialized urban America, and an examination of the forces transforming both inner cities and the immigrants that reside there.

"The same powerful forces of globalization that have harmed cities like Philadelphia and Detroit have also brought migrants from around the world to them. These resilient communities are perhaps a silver lining around an otherwise bleak picture," says Denvir.

The story and images will run in the City Paper as well as in The Atlantic Cities later this year.
