Darfur

Lucian Niemeyer is a professional photographer who operates out of Santa Fe. He has traveled the world, photographing human and environmental conditions, and is the author of New Mexico: Images of a Land and Its People (with Arthur Gomez), Africa: The Holocausts of Rwanda and Sudan, and Desert Wetlands (with Thomas Lowe Fleischner), all UNM Press titles. Bill Richardson is the governor of New Mexico and served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in 1997. He also provided the foreword for Niemeyer's Africa: The Holocausts of Rwanda and Sudan.

Lucian Niemeyer understands that to truly tell the story of the turmoil in Darfur and Sudan one must understand the history and root causes that brought the Sudan and its people to this situation. His breathtaking photographs and compelling narrative tell the definitive story of the conflict and will help the readers across the globe to understand the true nature of the genocide and the people caught up in it every day.... I applaud him for this wonderful book and join him in his urgent cry for help for those oppressed in Sudan who cannot speak for themselves. - Governor Bill Richardson, from the Foreword
