Drawing on little-known and unpublished archive material, The Crisis Project makes available for the first time Terry Dennett's work from his ground-breaking, 37-year project to record the visual evidence for "a criminal trial against those who have presided over the despoliation and destruction of our society."

Terry Dennett (1938-2018) sought new ways of understanding, seeing and changing the world through photography. He remains one the most influential figures in radical British photography, with an impact extending far beyond image-making - into publishing, exhibiting, teaching and shaping photographic theory. The Crisis Project forms part of an important new trilogy of books - alongside Terry Dennett & Jo Spence: Our Studio Was The World and Jo Spence: The Unknown Recordings - which explores their unpublished work, ideas and committed socialist perspective.

With an Introduction by Julia Winkler, Principal Lecturer, University of Brighton and long-term friend and colleague of Terry Dennett.
