Reviews
The book opens with an introduction by the photographer and is closed with an insightful afterword by Dr. Jeni Williams. I.C.Rapoports sensitive photographs are beautifully judged, high quality images, they do not shock but seek to suggest lives beyond their representations. The figures they commemorate are allowed the dignity of being people rather than victims. As social history, they construct a narrative of development that is ultimately positive even though some of the individual images are so delicately, tragically moving. These pictures show, not only the community in its devastation again not as victims- but in its social and historical particularity. The interiors, the clothes, the miners going underground, the woman holding a baby in a shawl: all these are part of something lost also. ******************************"I arrived in Aberfan on the 29th of October, 1966, eight days later. The village was hostile ground; sad, angry, wet and cold, half of it still covered in grime from the tips fallen slurry. I took up residence above the Macintosh Pub in an unheated third floor garret with a two small windows that looked immediately upon the site of the tragedy. I didnt know any of the villagers but I was about meet most of them, and to document their shock and grief and the stirrings of life after so much loss. I left Aberfan on Christmas Day 19666 never to forget the events I witnessed, the faces I studied of decent people, their stories and to their sorrow."
