Book by Carmine Galasso

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A stark and powerful black-and-white image of a Catholic priest standing on a sand dune- head back , eyes looking up towards the clouds above him- appears on the cover of Crosses: Portraits of Clergy Abuse. Midway through this book by Carmine Galasso,the reader discovers that this troubled figure gracing the cover is Father Robert M. Hoatson, a 53-year-old victim, and survivor, of an horrific violation that first began when he joined the Irish Christian Brothers Order in 1970. This is his cross to bear, one he shares with 28 other victims from around the counrtry- black, white, young, old, male, female- who allowed Galasso to tell their story through words and pictures... It's a tough topic but Galasso succeeds in portraying these victims as survivors, well deserving of our sympathy but never our pity. --Jacqueline Tobin, Photo District News

Présentation de l'éditeur :

With portraits taken over a period of two to three years, here are also the accounts of children, now as adults themselves and in their own words, of a childhood blighted by the violation and horror of sexual abuse at the hands of a member of the Catholic clergy. From countless interviews, emails and phone conversations they recall their experiences of an abuse of power, be they priest, monk or nun - which has followed them into their adult lives.
