 | Diane Arbus by Diane Arbus
Lost Futures: Our Forgotten Children is a moving chronicle by photographer/writer Stan Grossfeld - a two-time Pulitzer-prize winner - who has traveled from Los Angeles to India, from Brazil to Thailand, documenting the precarious living conditions facing the children of the world's poor. As this book shows us, there is hope for these children - if we are willing to take action. Lost Futures contains fifteen powerful photographic essays, each detailing the harsh realities of these young lives with a report that is brutal yet deeply affecting. Each essay delves into the everyday horrors faced by millions of children. From the often overlooked problems in our own backyards (child abuse, gang warfare, child prostitution, and hunger), to distressing global problems (famine, the AIDS crisis in Romania, child slavery, and the devastating effects of warfare), Grossfeld never lets us forget that the solutions are often simple when implemented.
