Zagora, 1967

In August 1967, James Becket (b.1936), a human rights lawyer, filmmaker and journalist, documented the Greek village of Zagora, Pelion. His remarkable photographs subtly show the shifts that took place, on a local scale, in the dramatic first year of the Greek military dictatorship - a regime of right-wing colonels that forcibly ruled the country from 1967 to 1974.

Apart from their original, and anonymous, appearance in a Swiss newspaper, the images in this book have never been published. In a time of growing autocracy, political suppression and censorship, these images will now be published comprehensively for the first time.
