Africa: Sebastião Salgado

Sebastião Salgado’s stark black-and-white images of Africa come together in this remarkable photographic collection, shot over a period of 30 years. These images tell the tale of a continent ravaged by troubles but immensely rich in history and culture. With humility and insight, Salgado draws us into multiple and diverse regions surviving in the face of environmental and humanitarian crises.

This book brings together Salgado’s photos of Africa in three parts. The first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia).

This stunning book is not only a sweeping document of Africa but an homage to the continent’s history, people, and natural phenomena.
