Each spring in Mogila, Bulgaria, is celebrated the Gypsy Bride Market. In this festival the virginity is for sale. The honor can be bought. Every girl has a price to be agreed between the parents of the girl and the candidate. The price can range between 1.500 and 10.000€, in a country where the minimum salary is just over 100€. The market joins the Kalajdzii families, known as the thracians tinkerers, whose tradition is still alive. Many girls dress as real princesses, others prefer to dress in a modern way. They dance during hours the ring dance while grandparents and parents watch the way the young interrelate. Many girls dream to be married by the rite imposed by the tradition. Nowadays there are some girls that don’t agree with the tradition and would prefer not to marry, although they assist to these market all the times. Divorces and elopements, so far taboo, are becoming everytime more frequent. Beyond the topic, ethnologists, define it as the Kalajdzii’s disco, where the family honor is involved in a commercial transaction. This ritual has being celebrated for years, so anthropologists think is not going to change too much in future.

  • Raimundo Brito, 61, the oldest member of the Queimada dos Britos community, says "I will never leave the island even if they offer me a truck full of money". He was born in the oasis, lived all his life there and buried his father in the local cemetery.  The Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA) is planning to remove them since they live in a National Park. The residents refuse to move since many of them were born there and lived all their lives in the Queimada. They claim that more than a threat, they are a protection to the Lençois do Maranhão.

  • Aldemir Brito, 39, fishing with his son Adriel, 13, in one of the lagoons close to his house in Queimada dos Britos. The knowledge of living in the dunes is passed from father to son for generations. They live of fishing in the sea, which is two hours away. In the winter they breed fish on the lagoons, and cattle and goats that run free on the dunes. They have a small garden for farming but nothing major since they are afraid of the accelerating advance of the dunes that have already covered several houses. No one really knows when the village was founded but the legend says that the founder Manuel Brito, when running away from home due to a drought that was scorching his homeland, he ended up settling down in the only non-sandy portion of the Lençois.

  • A father walks his daughter down Lenox Ave. after picking her up at school.  Harlem, a neighborhood of New York City in Manhattan, began as a Dutch village in 1658 and was later annexed to New York City in 1873.  At the beginning of the 20th century African-American's began arriving from the southern American states looking for work in the more industrious north.  With their migration, the African-American community brought with them a renaissance in the arts to Harlem that is still evident today.  After World War II Harlem began experiencing a significant rise in crime and poverty due to the Great Depression that lasted until the 21st century.  A new pride in the community has brought a renewed revival to Harlem, and crime rates have dropped to record lows giving the New York City neighborhood a new lease on life.
