Hardcover. Condition: New. The Swedish edition of Kent Klich's book on Mexican street children, with photographs taken 1986-96. "Manuel Cappelin, chairman of Casa Allianza says, 'Ten kids arrive daily in Mexico City. Sixty percent of the children come from the country. The remaining 40 percent were born here; sons and daughters…of a new generation, their parents arrived fifteen years or more ago on buses, trains and trailers. Many didn't go any further. They stayed in the train stations, in the Central de Abastos market. Five out of ten kids are engulfed by the street and end up living in the Metro's ventilation systems, sewers, caves, on construction sites, in abandoned houses in which thirty and even forty share two rooms. They also sleep on top of bus stops covered with newspapers and an occasional blanket.'" / From Elena Poniatowska's epilogue 76 b/w images Epilogue by Elena Poniatowska Text by Kent Klich Translation to Swedish: Eva Sjöblom Editor: Gösta Flemming Layout: Tina Enghoff, Kent Klich Design: Tina Enghoff Co-published with Syracuse University Press (English/Spanish language edition; editor: Fred Ritchin) and Tiderne skifter (Danish language edition; editor: Claus Clausen) Hardcover 250 mm x 335 mm 168 pages Swedish 1999.
