About This Item
London: Phaidon Press, 2000. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. boxed, (unpaged) : chiefly black and white illustrations, maps ; a fine copy in a fine box. Larry Towell first encountered the Mennonites near his home in Ontario, Canada, and his friendship with them has gained him unique access to their communities. He has been photographing Mennonites in Canada and Mexico for over ten years, creating a unique and intimate portrait of their way of life. In addition, Towell's own fascinating text tells us in poignant and descriptive detail of his experiences. With an artist's eye he paints a picture of their lives: the harshness and poverty of their rural existence, the disciplines and contradictions of their religion, their hunger for land and for work, and the constant struggle to keep the modern world at bay.".
