In the 2,000-year-old village of Vichya, in the state of Gujarat in northwestern India, Wendy Ewald photographed and taught twenty of the village's children. I Dreamed I Had a Girl in my Pocket is a record of her journey, a unique book in which words and images move on simultaneous planes. Ewald worked with the children to portray their families, friends, daily lives, and the sometimes secret stories of love, struggle, death, and bride-burning whispered by adults. The children's images are joined with Ewald's in an evocative narrative. Whether they attend school or work the fields, whether they are untouchables or of another caste, these rural children speak in eloquent voices and offer intimate glimpses of their lives. This small epic of an Indian village includes artifacts, and artworks, along with stories told by the children and other villagers, collected by Ewald. These stories, along with Ewald's portraits of the children, bear witness to a culture's first encounter with a camera.
Review:
"The fascinating and haunting black-and-white documentary mixed evocative portraits of the children with their equally remarkable view of the world through text and photos by both teacher and students."
Bonnie Weller, Philadelphia Inquirer, 08/04/1996

Book Description: WW Norton Co, United States, 1996. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 245 x 245 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Award-winning writer, photographer and teacher Wendy Ewald lived in the 2000-year-old village of Vichya in the Gujarati Desert in India, where she taught 20 of the village's children the art and craft of photography. This combination of photographs and text describes the hopes and dreams of those children, with evocative images of the town and its people. In the text the children, from different backgrounds, speak chillingly of their lives, their concerns over their impending marriages, and their almost unanimous desire to photograph the gods. The children's pictures and moving, sometimes disturbing, oral histories are combined with Ewald's observations and photographs.
