I Could Have Been a Pretender

"Never Again, Again, Again..." is a powerful photographic essay with text on the six major genocides of the 20th and 21st centuries: Armenia, the Holocaust, Cambodia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda and Darfur. It is the first photographic publication dealing with all six genocides, including photographs by the author, other contemporary photographers, and archival images. The book is not just a litany of the locales, dates, and death tolls, but also an unforgettable view of the victims, the perpetrators, and the consequences. How does it happen? Why does it happen? Why does it exist in our 21st century? Montgomery's photographs are accompanied by text from scholars and leading activist for human rights, as well as by excerpted text from authors familiar with the regions and those who have experienced the horror firsthand.

Originally published in July of 2008 as a part of the Authors@Google series, here is Lane Montgomery - "Never Again Again Again"
