First edition of this collection of Salgado's black and white images of Africa taken over the course of thirty years. Oblong quarto, original boards. Boldly signed by Sebastiao Salgado on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Edited by Leila Salgado and Mia Couto. Features text by Mia Couto in English, French, and German.
This book brings together Salgado’s photos of Africa in three parts. The first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how today’s Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the consequences of economic, social, and environmental crises.
