"The children's surprisingly acute (and well-edited) commentary and their black-and-white photographs of sights . . . redefine one of the world's most populous cities in achingly personal terms."
Los Angeles Times

More Reviews

 

This bilingual publication, in Spanish and English, contains images by nine youths from Mexico City who photographed what they consider to be their city's distinctive landmarks. The images, in combination with quotes from the photographers, evoke ideas that challenge readers' conventional notions of landmarks and, at the same time, invites them to consider how they are marked by the communities in which they live.

The book contains a selection of thought-provoking, sometimes poignant, black-and-white prints culled from hundreds taken during the course of the project, along with short biographies and color images of each of the young photographers.
