Uwe Omer's homage to the sublime grace and beauty of black ladies is a celebration of African women and their enviroment. The pictures are simple only in that what they portray needs no ehancing. The sensuous ladies he photographs are the epitomy of womanhood; gracefull, styelish, rugged and natural. The landscpe of Africa perfectly mirrors these qualities resulting in a wonderfull study. Also included are the poems of Calixthe Beyala, a leading francophone African poet, her words complimenting the photographs perfectly. This book will be enjoyed by men and women of all races who revel is the supreme beauty of the African woman, Ommer has captured their spirit perfectly. I cannot reccomend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Tribute to Black Women., 14 Dec 2008

By	Jack Gilbert "Editor of Michelle7.com" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful hommage to the charm and beauty of black women. And its tribute is paid in the perfect setting - the stunning landscape of Africa. Ommer's rich color photography creates a kaleidoscopic array matching perfectly with his subjects' glistening black skin. Glamour never looked so good!

This book has already achieved a cult following so it is highly recommended that collectors get this while they can. It's a photographic treasure and touching testimony to the beauty of Africa's Black Ladies.
