John Annerino, famed photographer of the Amerian Southwest,
portrays the astonishing beauty of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands and
contrasts those with images of the conflict that threatens to
destroy them.
These 1,956 miles through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and
California on the U.S. side and Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Chihuahua,
Sonora, and Baja California Norte on Mexico's side are the
beautiful, rugged, blood-stained borderlands that once lured
conquistadors, missionaries, scalp hunters, bandits, smugglers,
pioneers, and colonists from Spain, Mexico, and the United States.
Annerino canoed the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo del Norte through the
legendary Big Bend Frontier, walked treacherous immigrant trails
like Arizona's "Camino del Diablo" (Road of the Devil), explored
borderlands jaguar country on foot, and came to know the resilient
people who live, work, and cling to the traditions on both sides of
the border. Along the way he chronicled his perilous journeys
through this "geography of chaos," capturing in remarkable
photographs and evocative essays the stunning landscapes whose
fragile environment is threatened by today's politics.
"John Annerino is one of the handful of photographers with a real
empathy for the West. His work has an edge to it, reflecting the
sheer size and power of his subject--a subject he treats with
respect and love. This land, which is so much a part of the
American psyche, now threatened by pollution, by the spread of
human settlement, and by exploitation, is as raw and exciting in
Annerino's work as it is in our mind's eye."--"Newsweek"
