MAGGOTS IN MY SWEET POTATOES: Women Doing Time
Maggots in My Sweet Potatoes: Women Doing Time by Susan Madden Lankford is the first in a photojournalistic series addressing crucial social issues. Through thought-provoking photographs and interviews, the author explores the kaleidoscope of alienation, personal despair, and fragile hopes of women caught up in the state's zeal for incarceration. DOWNTOWN U.S.A.
DOWNTOWN U.S.A. explores the lives of the homeless in a major metropolitan city. Author and photographer Susan Madden Lankford kept a journal during her daily encounters with San Diego street people, observing how even the defeated, or seemingly so, share many of our hopes and dreams. The book, enhanced with Lankford’s powerful photographs, strives to turn public indifference to society’s most broken and vulnerable population into a humane awareness and response. BORN, NOT RAISED: Kids at Risk
BORN, NOT RAISED explores the troubled psyches of youngsters serving time in juvenile hall. The book showcases a variety of creative tasks taken on by the young detainees—writing projects, artwork, elicited responses to photographs. The revealing results underscore Humane Exposures’ conviction that early education and youth development are the most effective strategies for breaking the cycle of at-risk behavior, and helping our youth thrive. |
