Description: "Syria: Remember Me bears witness in words and images to the strong, dignified, beautiful, and complex lives of the Syrian people from the fertile Euphrates River Valley to the wide-open expanse of the great Syrian Desert, from the maze of overflowing markets to the spacious interiors of gold-domed mosques. The photographs in this collection were taken over two decades, between 1991 and 2011 and precede the war that now sweeps the beleaguered land. Today, the media thrusts before us daily images of Syria that reveal only the devastation, grief, rage, and victimhood of war. It is the author's hope to expand and hearten that limited view. Syria: Remember Me offers readers a more humanizing encounter as they turn the pages and gaze into eyes of Syrians young and old, humble and proud, engaged in the simple miracle of living an ordinary day and a life lived in peace."--Back cover
