I Dreamed I Had a Girl in My Pocket

This remarkable book of photographs accompanied by moving and often disturbing testimonies takes place in a 2000-year-old village in India, where photographer and teacher Wendy Ewald lived and taught twenty of the village's children, ages ten to fourteen years, the art and craft of photography.

The book includes 60 duotone photographs and oral histories of the children, joined with Ewald's evocative observations and images of the town and its people.

This unique book provides an intimate look into the lives of these Indian children, their families, fears, futures, and dreams, and is a must-read for anyone interested in cultural studies, photography, or simply understanding the lives of others.
