The children

In The Children: Refugees and Migrants, Sebastião Salgado confronts us with the individuals who will bear the burden of this uncertain future. The book brings together portraits of children under the age of fifteen from Mozambique, Rwanda, Croatia, Burundi, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Brazil, Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Angola, and many other countries. Part of a major exhibition at the United Nations in New York City during the Millenium Assembly in 2000, The Children is a companion volume to Salgado's Migrations.A world-renowned exemplar of the tradition of "concerned photography," Sebastião Salgado has been awarded virtually every major photographic prize in France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. A former member of Magnum Photos and recipient of the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography, he has twice been named Photographer of the Year by the International Center of Photography.
