Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Ewald, a contributing photographer to the publication DoubleTake, issued quarterly by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, has also received NEA, Fulbright, and MacArthur fellowships for her studies of children and culture in Appalachia and Colombia. Continuing this work, Ewald traveled to India in 1989 to explore the teaching of photography to a group of children in the small village of Vichya in northwestern India. The results of her seven-month stay are depicted here in three main sections: portraits of each of her 20 students taken by Ewald and accompanied by their personal statements; the author's photographs of the area; and, finally, the images made by the children themselves. As a photoessay, this is neither as strong nor as evocative as another project, Black Self/White Self, that Ewald began in 1989, photographs from which were published in the Summer 1996 issue of DoubleTake. (Fifth- and sixth-graders from North Carolina were given the task of portraying themselves as a different race through manipulation of a photographic self-portrait.) However, this work is still a fascinating ethnographic study that is appropriate for social and cultural issues areas but recommended only for comprehensive photographic collections.?Kathy J.
