Where: Villivakkam village, India
When: 2002
Photographer: Jodi Cobb
"These women in the southern Indian town of Villivakkam, nicknamed 'kidney village,' each traded a kidney for cash. In their 20s at the time, married, and eager to pay off crushing family debts, they were easy marks for transplant agents who promised 50,000 rupees—about a thousand [U.S.] dollars—for an organ. The women got half the money in advance, but after their kidneys were removed, the rest of the fees were never paid. India has outlawed commerce in human organs, though that has not stopped the trade."

Where: Afghanistan
When: 1933
Photographer: Maynard Owen Williams
“Tea makes most Moslems kin: The Afghan variety, sometimes flavored with cardamom, is unusually refreshing. The abstemious Mohammedan depends on it or coffee for “adding life to the party” or “putting through a deal. In every wayside inn and urban bazaar, shops offering the beverage are centers of sociability and trade. Trays are delivered to homes, guest houses, or business places.”
