Description: Without Sanctuary by Hilton Als, Leon F. Litwack, James Allen, John Lewis Frequently reissued with the same ISBN, but with slightly differing bibliographical details. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Many people today, despite the evidence, will not believe—dont want to believe—that such atrocities happened in America not so very long ago. These photographs bear witness to . . . an American holocaust." –John Lewis, US CongressmanThe Tuskegee Institute records the lynching of 3,436 Black Americans between 1882 and 1950. Many times, a photographer was present to capture these events. Without Sanctuary preserves these harrowing, death-marked depictions, saving them so that we may recognize the terrorism unleashed on Americas African American community. Editor James Allen, an American antique collector, includes nearly 100 images of lynchings in America from his own collection, including battleground cases such as the 1911 murders of Laura and Lawrence Nelson in Okemah, Oklahoma the lynching of Rubin Stacy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1935, and the infamous 1915 execution of Jewish factory manager Leo Frank in Marietta, Georgia. These images are accompanied by Allens own notes, as well as texts from the late US congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis, the late slavery and Reconstruction historian Leon Litwack, and writer and theater critic Hilton Als, professor at University of California in Berkeley and Columbia University. Now in its 17th printing, Without Sanctuary remains a singular testament to the cameras ability to make us remember what we often choose to forget.James Allen (born 1954) is an American collector best known for his vast collection of photographs of lynchings in America.

Review ...as disturbing and mesmerizing a book as one might see in a lifetime. -- Steve Oney * L.A. Weekly *Without Sanctuary presents the pictures in a way that workss against the utterly casual and disdainful spirit in which they were taken...[It is] a powerful document of repressed history. -- C. Carr * The Village Voice *[These images] refute the notion that photographs of charged historical subjects lose their power...Instead they send shock waves through the brain, implicating ever larger chunks of American society. -- Roberta Smith * The New York Times *Without Sanctuary is a great and terrible book. Its an album of peacetime atrocities, during which hundreds of Kodaks clicked. -- Richard Lacayo * TIME * Details ISBN0944092691 Short Title WITHOUT SANCTUARY Pages 212 Publisher Twin Palms Publishers Language English ISBN-10 0944092691 ISBN-13 9780944092699 Media Book Format Hardcover Subtitle Lynching Photography in America DOI 10.1604/9780944092699 Imprint Twin Palms Publishers Place of Publication Santa Fe Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2000-01-01 NZ Release Date 2000-01-01 UK Release Date 2000-01-01 Author John Lewis DEWEY 779 Audience General Year 1999 Publication Date 1999-12-16 Edited by James Allen US Release Date 1999-12-16 Illustrations 98 Illustrations We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
