Inherit the land

the long version

"Through the attentive eyes of this compelled photographer-participant, we are privileged witnesses to the immediate and intimate facts, both cherished and chilling, of the personal lives, dwellings, and struggles of families who live and work in the garbage dumps of Tijuana, Mexico. Jack Lueders-Booth's photographs immerse us in this world of trash and those who rely on its gleaning for their existence. In Inherit the Land, the reader will find life lessons in survival, spirituality, and community, beyond ordinary comprehension and imagination." "Lueders-Booth's penetrating photographs, made over a seven-year period, are further illuminated in a personal way with an essay by writer Luis Alberto Urrea. Author of The Devil's Highway: A True Story, Urrea worked as a missionary in the 1980s in the dumps that Lueders-Booth depicts in Inherit the Land."--BOOK JACKET.
