| The
region comprising Ethiopia and its surrounding countries -
the Horn of Africa - is known today as a land of famine and
war, but it is also the last secret kingdom of the world.
Cut off by soaring mountain ranges, burning lava deserts,
and an isolated Indian Ocean coastline, the Horn of Africa
has for centuries sheltered an astonishing variety of societies.
This book of postcards from two of the world's outstanding
photographers, Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher, records the
lifestyles and customs of the women of the Horn. The thirty
compelling photographs included here give us a rare glimpse
into their private, protected - often amazing - worlds. 30
colour photographs. 17.5cm x 12cm |
