Biographical history
Part of Mclennan’s photographic essay on relocation and resettlement camps was published in South Africa: The Cordoned Heart in 1986 where his images spoke very starkly to the desperation and poverty of people forced to move under the apartheid government’s resettlement policy. Mclennan sought to document the structural oppression of the apartheid state providing testimony against claims of denial.
