Remnants of an Exodus is Al J Thompson's love letter to his second home of Spring Valley, a once-thriving Caribbean immigrant community under threat of gentrification, just 40 minutes from New York City.

The new monograph by Gnomic Book is comprised of 55 black and white photographs made over several years; Thompson observes and experiences change firsthand as the community undergoes a dramatic shift in both demographic and political landscapes, and tensions mount between different groups in the community.
