« Afghanistan and Canada »

Les éditions Black Rose Book viennent de publier “Afghanistan and Canada. Is there an Alternatives to the War” un recueil d’articles sous la direction de Lucia Kowaluk et Steven Staples. Un livre auquel j’ai participé avec une série de photographies tirée de mes différents voyages dans le pays entre les années 2003 et 2007.

(Je profite de ce blogue pour corriger deux des légendes qui accompagnent les photographies.)

Voici la table des matières :
