SynopsisCarol Beckwith and Angela Fisher are acclaimed for their photographs of vanishing African tribal customs. This text brings together a decade of travel and research, in a two-volume exploration of African rites and rituals, including baby namings, initiations and weddings.
An excellent depiction of the customs and ceremonies of the continent. Outstanding photography, as usual. This book
meets the high standards evident in previous books published by these authors and photographers!
