Description
Book SynopsisCulminating thirty years of photographing gang members and their families, award-winning photojournalist Donna De Cesare uncovers the effects of decades of war and gang violence on the lives of youths in Central America and in refugee communities in the U
Trade ReviewBetween chapters of text, De Cesare lets her images stand with a minimum of explanation—just year and place. Close readers will recognize recurring characters by their tattoos, but given a less detailed reading, the images offer a sense of the tremendous scope of De Cesare’s work, and the scale of the troubles she documents. * The Texas Observer *
