Publisher Note
Raised by Wolves documents the lives of teenage runaways who live on the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Recorded between 1987 and 1993, Jim Goldberg was on the California streets photographing interviewing and following these California street kids as they fumbled through lives coloured by addiction, abuse and violence.
With this book about runaway and thrown-away kids, Jim Goldberg set new standards for documentary photography. Interviews with social workers, police and, most of all, with the adolescent subjects themselves lend dimension to this harrowing picture of American street life and the adversarial institutional culture surrounding it.
At the book's heart lie two brilliant but doomed adolescents, Tweeky Dave and Echo; their sad romance lends enormous emotional impact to the book.
Published on the occasion of the 1995 exhibition at Zurich Museum of Design
