Sobre este artículo
(Cape Town: Fernwood Press, 2001) 1874950598. 4to; original grey boards, with pale grey lettering to spine and device to upper board; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pictorial endpapers; pp. 144; lavishly illustrated, generally with historical portrait photographs to the recto and the facing verso providing descriptive text. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed, and partially sunned. Very good condition. "In those instances when the sitter's humanity survived the racial prejudices and technology of the time, the images often transcend their role as historical records and can be seen as provocative and poignant works of art. The photographs chosen for inclusion are from the authors' own collection and most of them have never been published before. Each is reproduced on a double-page spread accompanied by captions that provide new information about the photographers and the subjects. An introductory essay, which contextualises the practice of photography in south and east Africa during this period, is illustrated with full-page details from the selected photographs. The images reproduced in this book retain a lasting and intriguing engagement. They reveal the intensity of these troubled encounters and provide evocative human portraits captured at a time of rapid change in Africa." .
