Items related to Fazal Sheikh: Ladli
In India it costs a poor family 50 rupees to hire a midwife to oversee the birth of a child. For an additional 10 rupees, the parents are assured that the birth of a girl will be met with an act of infanticide by the midwife. The alternative for many is an institution like the Delhi orphanage, in which Fazal Sheikh's work on the predicament of the girl-child in India begins--and 99 percent of that orphanage's population are girls. Girl Child follows on the heels of Sheik's 2005 Moksha, which documented the plight of the Indian widow, and for which, in combination with this companion volume, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson granted Sheikh its 2005 HCB Award. Sheikh's previous books include A Sense of Common Ground, The Victor Weeps, A Camel for the Son and Ramadan Moon. He was born in New York in 1965, and studied at Princeton University; he has received Fulbright and NEA fellowships, and presented his work at the Tate Modern, London, the International Center of Photography in New York and the United Nations. Sheikh is represented by Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York City.

Book Description Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. "Ce dont souffre l'Inde, c'est de l'apathie : si les femmes et les enfants sont toujours maltraités, ce n'est pas par manque de lois, mais parce que la police, les tribunaux et le gouvernement rechignent à appliquer ces lois destinées à les protéger." Fazal Sheikh "Depuis presque deux décennies, Fazal Sheikh travaille parmi les populations déplacées en Afrique de l'Est, en Amérique du Sud et en Asie, créant des photographies et enregistrant des témoignages qui nous font comprendre la réalité de leur vie. Après son dernier livre, Moksha, il retourna en Inde afin d'en apprendre davantage sur les jeunes femmes qui grandissent dans une société certes fière de son dynamisme récent, mais pleine de préjugés à leur égard. Le présent livre, Ladli - un mot qui en hindi signifie fille adorée - résulte de cette enquête." Poignant recueil de 95 portraits - veuves, jeunes femmes, jeunes filles, petites filles - en noir et blanc et à pleine page : Rumana, Shanti, Ranjeet Kaur, Labhuben, Rasona, Shabnam, Noorjahan, Tableen Suman.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the title page by Sheikh. Hardcover. Fine beige cloth-covered boards with title stamped in burgundy on spine, with photographically illustrated dust jacket. Photographs and text by Fazal Sheikh. Additional text by the women whose images appear in the book. Designed by Fazal Sheikh with Hanna Williamson Koller. 192 pp., with 95 tritone plates beautifully printed on heavy matte paper in Germany by Steidl, Göttingen, from scans by Katja Töpfer, Steidl's digital darkroom. 10-5/8 x 9 inches. New in New dust jacket (opened only for signature). From the publisher: "For almost two decades now, Fazal Sheikh has been working among displaced people in East Africa, South America and Asia, making photographs and recording testimonies that bring home to us the realities of their lives. For his last book, Moksha, he went to Vrindavan, one of India's holy cities, where Hindu widows come to live out their last years. It was while listening to their stories that Sheikh began to comprehend the full extent to which women in India are the victims of religious and cultural codes that reduce many of them to little more than child-rearing servants. He returned to India to find out more from young women growing up in a society that, whatever economic advances it may boast, is still widely prejudiced against them. This book, Ladli--which in Hindi means 'beloved daughter'--is the result. The stories told here will come as a shock to many: the abortion of thousands of healthy fetuses every year because of their gender, the murder at birth of baby girls, the abduction and rape of adolescents forced into prostitution, the exploitation of child labor, the physical abuse of domestic workers and, worst of all, the murder of young women whose dowries, or performance as wives, does not match their husbands', or their husbands' families', expectations. Through a network of street-level activists, Sheikh builds up a picture of India that undermines its new role as a modern democracy. His portraits have a directness and articulacy that painfully reinforce the stories they tell. Some of the strongest voices in this book belong to older women, who have overcome personal tragedies and are determined to fight so that other women might avoid them. What does it say about a country that it mistreats its women? It is not for lack of legislation that women continue to be abused in India, but because the police, the judiciary and the government fail to enforce the laws made to protect them. How can such an ingrained system be reformed? To answer that, we need to understand more about its victims, and in this Fazal Sheikh is a reliable guide." The richness of these prints intensifies the impact of Sheikh's subject matter, as Vince Aletti has written in The New Yorker: "At once descriptive and loving, and warm rather than cool, the photographs are extraordinarily moving portraits in the classic mode (think Julia Margaret Cameron and Irving Penn), whose aesthetic weight is multiplied by the power of their maker's concern."
