Hardback. Condition: New. NO JUSTICE tells the story of a young black man, Robbie Tolan, who was gunned down on his parents' front lawn simply because a white officer failed to follow procedure. And it almost cost him his life.ROBBIE TOLAN, son of 14-year Major League Veteran Bobby Tolan, was a baseball standout at Bellaire High School in Houston, TX. Signing with the Washington Nationals, with dreams of following in his father's footsteps, Robbie's life was destroyed because white Bellaire police officers falsely suspected him of driving a stolen car. Innocent, and instead of being given a chance to defend himself, Robbie was shot inches from his heart in front of his pleading mother and father. Despite the unlikely chances of survival, and grim expectations by doctors, Robbie beat all the odds. He survived the shooting, but his dreams of a major league career did not. The bullet remains in his back as a reminder of the racial profiling that nearly cost him his life. That night transformed a tragedy into a call of justice; not only for Robbie but for the other black men and women being targeted by white police officers who have not had the same outcome. They have been killed over simple excuses, whether jaywalking by Michael Brown, or making an illegal lane change with Sandra Bland. Robbie Tolan's story emphasizes that that it doesn't end with the police encounter. Robbie's hope with this book is to help keep the dialogue alive to find a way to stop police from reaching for their guns when they're not 100 percent certain of the criminal, the crime, or the threat. NO JUSTICE is a poignant, gripping book that sits squarely in the crosshairs of race, police violence, racial profiling, and the ongoing discussion about why African Americans are disproportionately affected by violent police interactions. Finally, a black victim of police violence has lived to speak for those who were killed. And Robbie has something important to say. His case was a precedent setting. It was the first Supreme Court ruling on a race since Brown vs. Board of Education, and thousands of cases have now been heard because of this ruling. The bullet that did not kill him will create justice for others.…

loose_leaf. Condition: Fine. Prima edizione (First Edition). Pubblicato in occasione della mostra alla Stills Gallery di Edinburgo. 12 fotografie a colori e in bianco e nero sciolte di Robbie Lawrence contenute in astuccio. Un berve testo dell'Autore sull'aletta della custodia . Cm 15x20. pp. 12. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Questo nuova edizione in tiratura limitata comprende dodici fotografie prodotte dal fotografo Robbie Lawrence nella sua Scozia, durante gli ultimi cinque anni. Insieme formano una meditazione sulla relazione tra persone e luoghi, e sono una riflessione sulla vita a nord del confine, in un contesto politico sempre più teso. Pubblicato in concomitanza con una mostra alla Stills Gallery, Northern Diary trae ispirazione dai classici set di cartoline di San Valentino che negli anni passati si acquistavano quando si era lontani dalla persona amata per cercare di condividere un'esperienza di viaggio."Non ho mai pensato a me stesso come a un fotografo scozzese. Ma un crescente interesse per la mia eredità culturale mi ha portato a iniziare a documentare i miei viaggi a casa per andare a vedere la mia famiglia. La frase Northern Diary è apparsa più volte nei miei quaderni nel corso degli anni ed è diventata una sorta di totem per questo lavoro". - Robbie Lawrence. Book. …

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. One hardback book and one singer-sewn book, both housed in a silk-screened slipcase, vol. 1 120p, Vol 2 48p : illustrations (also in color) ; 31 cm. Fine/as new. "For the past five years, Robbie Lawrence has travelled throughout Scotland and the United States photographing the Highland Games. His highly anticipated new book Long Walk Home examines the cultural significance of the traditional community tournament and questions the very notion of what it is to be from a place."The Games have always interested me, not just visually, but also as a vehicle for considering how we as Scots allow history to inform our modern identity. At first, I struggled to look past the myth-making and nationalism often espoused in the Games. I was trying to document these events objectively, without clarifying how I felt about them. What you see in the pages of these two volumes is an attempt to engage with the myriad of fabricated ideas surrounding the modern Highland Games. Whether on a dusty sports field in Denver or at the local park at Burntisland, the Games is at its core a coming together of friends and family to enjoy sports, dance and music." - Robbie LawrencePresented as a limited edition double-volume publication, including a hardback book of candid images of the Games, and a second Singer-sewn volume of portraits of the Games participants, alongside an extended text by award-winning poet John Burnside, which teases apart the threads of how Scots and the Scottish diaspora have remoulded the form of the Games to suit their cultural needs. Burnside passed away shortly after completing his beautiful text."We do not need to be born in a place - we do not even need to have seen it - to enter into its mythology, because myths are not historical. Myths are elective - not at the level of consciousness, not as an informed, self-aware choice, but as the expression of something more fundamental and, at the same time, more lyrical. History is what sets us in our place, binding us to social norms and conventions and limits; myths let us roam, they make space for the imagination, for re-invention, for a sense of belonging that is not conferred by a clan name, or a verified birth certificate - and by now, in much of the world, including Scotland, Scottishness is as much myth as it is history, which means that we must guard it carefully, retell it beautifully and, more than anything else, love it wisely." - John Burnside" -- from publisher's website.…

Prima edizione di 10 esemplari originali con fotografia (First Edition of 10 copies with original photo). . Nel 2016 Robbie Lawrence si recò per la prima volta a Linn Gardens, Cove Bay, lato occidentale di Rosneath, nella Scozia occidentale. Questo luogo è caratterizzato da un remoto tratto di costa. I giardini locali erano gestiti da più di cinquant'anni da Jim Taggart, un esperto botanico e giardiniere.  Jim scoprì che la presenza di un clima subtropicale nella regione gli permetteva di coltivare piante e fiori provenienti da tutto il mondo. I suoi sforzi negli anni fecero sì che la tenuta fosse coperta da una trama intricata di felci, bambù, magnolie e rododendri. Man mano che Jim cresceva, suo figlio Jamie si occupava degli aspetti più materiali della manutenzione del giardino, compresi i viaggi all'estero per la ricerca e la raccolta di nuove piante. In uno di questi viaggi, nella regione montuosa settentrionale del Vietnam, Jamie scomparve. Il suo corpo fu ritrovato anni dopo; evidentemente era caduto in uno dei passi più alti e pericolosi della catena montuosa. In "A Voice Above The Linn" Lawrence ha collaborato con il famoso poeta John Burnside, che ha contribuito con quattro bellissime nuove poesie che fungono da divisione per i diversi capitoli.
