Bihar, India

This is an anti-police brutality protest in Jehanabad, a city in the Bihar region of India. As detailed in this article, there is a bloody battle raging in Bihar and down the long stretch of India known as the "Naxal Belt," a reference to the Maoist Naxalite insurgents that have been waging war against the police and landowning castes for decades. The peasants, not all of whom support the Naxals, are often caught in the middle between the Maoists and the police, who are aligned with the landowners. Taken in December 2005.

Arizona-Mexico Border

This is a plot of land in Yuma, Arizona as seen from the Mexican side of the border. The Minutemen were supposedly building a fence to "stop the invasion," but all they did with their supporters' money was stick a bunch of poles and an American flag in the ground. A brief article from my time in the Southwest reporting on the Minutemen and the border debate can be found here.
