Sobre este artículo
(London: Harvill Press, 1983) 0002726394. 4to; original dark brown boards, lettered in gilt on spine; price-clipped laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pictorial endpapers; pp. 192, incl. index; liberally illustrated with full-colour photographs. Top edge of dustwrapper very slightly curled; top edge a little foxed. Very good condition. "Africa is changing fast: ancient cultures - dominated by tribal customs, the rhythm of the seasons, rites and hierarchies, age groups and elders - exist side by side with airports and skyscrapers. Nowhere is this contrast greater than in Kenya ... This comprehensive study of Bantu, Nilotic and Cushitic-speaking peoples provides an insight into 45 main ethnic groups and over 140 sub-groups. The text is illustrated by 180 full-colour photographs. Portraits of Africa is an important contribution to our understanding of the early social structures which have shaped human society and destiny for thousands of years." .
