Common Good Books, Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 7:30pm
Lane H. Montgomery , Never Again, Again, Again...: Genocide: Armenia, The Holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur.
In her book, Never Again, Again, Again, Lane H. Montgomery delivers a haunting and compelling retrospective of genocides around the world during the last 75 years. Today, as the ongoing atrocities in Darfur, Kenya, and the African subcontinent dominate world headlines, if not the consciousness of the average person, shedding light on man’s continuing inhumanity to man remains a daunting task. Montgomery was raised in a liberal family in a small town in North Carolina. During the 1950’s burgeoning era of desegregation and the civil rights movement, her father was actively involved on the side of integration. Her distinct view of a world that was then black and white with separate water fountains, restrooms, and classrooms would eventually shape the mood, texture and imagery of her photographs.
