Where: Bihar, India
When: 2002
Photographer: William Albert Allard
"Undisguised hatred of Untouchables incites members of a private army in a Bihar village. Outraged by the wage and land-reform demands of Untouchables, the Ranvir Sena, a militia led by landowners, has been implicated in the massacres of more than 500 Untouchables. The attackers have gone largely unpunished. Activists fear that the recent surge in violent incidents across India will only intensify as more Untouchables try to break the chains of caste."

Snaking through a desert garden, the Rio Grande separates Mexico, at the left, from Big Bend Ranch State Park in Texas. Such splendid isolation alternates with sprawling and often squalid urban development along the river's 1,250-mile [2,012-kilometer] course between two nati##被过滤##."

Religious beliefs are strong along the Texas-Mexican border. The influx of U.S. business taking advantage of cheap production costs has left most of the Mexican side squalid, polluted, and increasingly impoverished. Everlasting faith helps keep spirits high and a relative amount of optimism a possibility in these conditi##被过滤##.

When: 2002
Photographer: Mike McHugh
"This photo shows a bowhead whale that was harpooned during the whale fall migration to their winter grounds. It was truly a culture shock to me to watch people butcher a whale, because I spend my summers photographing many types [of] whales off Cape Cod. This was the first time I had ever seen a bowhead, and I would have never expected to see one ashore with people running atop it, across its length."
