VOICES FROM THE LAND

First Edition: 165 pages, illustrated throughout with black & white photographs interspersed with text and captions, bound in black cloth with silver titling, a fine copy in the dust jacket.

'Voices from the Land reveals through the images of Jürgen Schadeberg, the harsh reality of the lives of many rural farm workers. Our urban community, mostly familiar with the postcard versions of farm life, can now take a glimpse into the nether and neglected world of rural life, and into the bleak existence of many farm workers who are deprived of dignity, self-respect and hope in a continuous cycle of poverty and hardship. Constant threats of eviction, harassment and homelessness compound an already volatile situation.' Editor's note.
