特兰斯凯家庭

特兰斯凯家庭,南非,1976年

一种与众不同的生活被成千上万的黑人妇女们所忍受,诸如这些在特兰斯凯的一个村庄里的黑人女性们。在这房子里唯一的男人是她们的退休的父亲,左边;她们的当矿工的丈夫们居住在遥远的地方。这些男人们一个月寄回家微薄的12美元(美国)。当他们返回时——一年一次——到了家中的灶台边,他们常常感到既有悲哀又有温暖。在贫困的故乡里,所有的孩子们有百分之六十是营养不良的,而且每年有很多孩子死亡。

  Transkei Family, South Africa, 1976

  "A life apart is endured by millions of black women, such as these in a Transkei village. The only man in the house is their retired father, left; their miner husbands live far away. The men send home a meager $12 [U.S.] a month. When they return—once a year—to the family hearth, they often find sadness as well as warmth. In the impoverished homelands, 60 percent of all children are malnourished, and many die each year."
