Description:

"House of Bondage" caption (p.129): "Papa with slingshot, usual first weapon of township boy. Line between laughing and crying, between playing and fighting, is very narrow for boy schooled in the streets. He doesn't care that he wears rags. When these pictures were taken, Papa's mother had just learned that he had been playing hooky for three months."
