Description
Includes an essay on Frankel's life and work, a history of Washington's alleys from the turn of the century onward, and a foreword by photographer Gordon Parks, who documented the same alleys for the Farm Security Administration, In the Alleys captures the strength and vitality of an urban community that now survives only in the memories of its former residents, and in Godfrey Frankel's arresting photographs.
