How do children play in inhospitable places?

Weekend

Available for over a year

How do children play in refugee camps, aboriginal reserves and places ravaged by war? Mark Neville's photographs show that some of the most inhospitable places on earth are not - contrary to what most of us imagine - a barrier to play. Across the thousands of miles of territory covered, common threads emerge: kids trundling hoops and wheels in Kenya and Afghanistan; girls playing mother and child; the universal appeal of water, mud, rope and string.
