In 1977 Geoffrey Biddle photographed the residents of Alphabet City on New York's Lower East Side for the first time. Ten years later, he returned to this same area and photographed many of the same people again, this time also interviewing them. This book is the result of those encounters--a searing portrait of inner-city life in what was once one of America's deadliest urban battlefronts. Photographs by Geoffrey Biddle; introduction by Miguel Algarin. SIGNED BY BIDDLE on the title page; no inscription. 122 pages; b&w illustrations throughout; 10 x 6.5 inches.
