Is Is interesting to see this mixed woman, because I think that the biggest differences are into de mind, not in the bodies. I am a feet lover and seeing thios photo I saw the disunetd toes of the indigenous people in all world and I remember that this the unic thing that does not change among the races. Very good theme and photo. Congratulations.

i regret to say that I am ignorant of what exactly the photographs were used for or how they were displayed.  If you were to walk up to me on the street and say, what do you think about this photograph I would say “what beautiful and shapely women”.  Out of context there is nothing shameful or degrading about the photograph, unless one is from the “naked is bad” school of thought.  As simply a photograph I actually think it’s quite nice.  That said I have no clue what in the world the photo was used for, whether the participants were voluntary or not, whether the photographs and their subjects were objects of ridicule, persecution and/or were treated as less than human,etc.  I am curious and would like to know why you say the photographs are degrading because without background information, they are just lovely naked ladies. 

Thank you and please help me to understand,

a mixed blood woman

Maura, if you have to ask you are just plain clueless.

Kent, I also agree with Maura. Without being able to read the writing in the photograph it is hard to put together the context of what is going on in the photo. Except for their sullen faces it is hard to tell the nature of what is going on. Call me clueless, but I can assure you I am not, especially on issues of race.

I understand how mixed race people were perceived in both the United States and South Africa, (It was different by the way) and I don’t see how this photo displays that.

So if you can explain why this photograph is demeaning… besides the fact that they are naked, that would be appreciated.

I am delighted with these pictures. Although here is depicted women which are far from a model photographer was able to show them that they should not cause disgust. I would also like to add that despite the fact that these women are depicted in the nude. it does not look ugly or challenging!
