by Donna Ferrato and Ann Jones
Donna Ferrato rode over 6,000 hours with police around the country to get some of the photographs in Living With the Enemy. In the introduction to Living With the Enemy, Ferrato writes, “Much of the book was born out of frustration – first, because I felt powerless in the face of the violence I had seen, and, second, because for a long time no magazine would publish the pictures. It was only when I received the W. Eugene Smith Award in 1986 that magazine editors began to take the project seriously.” Ferrato felt the problem had been concealed from public view for too long and it was important to show as many aspects of the problem as she could. Collected and presented in the exhibition and publication, these groundbreaking pictures are paired with texts by the photographer drawn from her conversations with the victims and perpetrators of abuse Some of the names in the book were changed, but all of the photographs and stories are real.
