African Ceremonies (The Concise
Edition)
Beckwith, Carol and
Fisher, Angela, African Ceremonies; Harry N. Abrams Inc,
Publishing, 2002.
The photography of Carol Beckwith
and Angela Fisher is an intimate exploration of the African
continent. Their lifelong commitment to documenting African
cultures has resulted in a number of award-winning books:
Maasai, The Nomads of Niger, Africa Adorned, and
African Ark. Beckwith and Fisher's latest visually arresting
masterpiece is African Ceremonies, a two-volume collection
chronicling the beautiful, exotic, and disappearing rituals
of African peoples. Many of these rituals will never be
performed again; few have been pictured and described with
the intimacy, knowledge, and skill of Beckwith and Fisher.
Overflowing with nearly 850 magnificent color photographs,
African Ceremonies is one of the most important works on
Africa ever published.
400 pages, 461 color
photographs.
