Fascinating photographic insight to a forgotten Africa, 3 Aug 2002
The photographs in this book are fascinating for the insight they give into an Africa preserved by colonial rule as if in aspic. Like all studies of this sort, they remind us of our original social condition. The book is divided into sections, some general, but most dealing with the spectacle of wrestling that played an important part of tribal life. It is interesting to see people living in the authentic,traditional African manner before the notion of "poverty" became paradigmatic. The book is not condescending and deals with its subjects in a most human and even-handed manner. Well-worth reading!
