Verleger: "The San inhabited the
whole of southern Africa before the spear and the gun drove them further into the desert region of the
Kalahari. They are among the last of the hunting and gathering societies in an agricultural and
industrialised world. Small by Western standards, the polite greeting to a San man is one of deference to
his unmistakable stature... 'I saw your shadow looming afar'... Although their lifestyle may appear
haphazard to the casual eye, on closer inspection, a defined pattern appears. In July 1959 Jürgen
Schadeberg joined an expedition led by Professor Phillip Tobias, then chairman of the Kalahari Research
Committee of the University of the Witwatersrand, to study the San. The result is this collection of
stunning black and white photographs, provided with detailed captions, as well as insightful introductory
and concluding chapters."

Sensual Africa
von Joe Wuerfel, Interview mit Peter Beard
Gebundene Ausgabe, 120 Seiten, 77
Duotonfotos
Edition Stemmle (Schweiz), Februar 2000, ISBN 3-908163-13-7
Klappentext: "In the many years he
has spent travelling through Africa, Joe Wuerfel has happened across a number of places never before
documented in photographs. In this volume, the photographer takes us on a trip to Kaokoland, Namibia, to the
Himba - a semi-nomadic tribe of herdsmen, to the mountain village of Heyza, Tanzania, and to the Cape Verde
Islands. The personal and emotional tone of his photographs reveals that Joe Wuerfel has not only witnessed
Africa, but experienced it as well, seeking personal contact and communication with its people. Wuerfel's
large-scale photographs capture the mind and spirit of Africa, its music, its pulsating vitality, its hot
and arid climate, its vast expanses and its loneliness. The photographer lays as much stress as possible on
spontaneous, unrehearsed shots, which gives his pictures their power and immediacy. Profound emotion fuses
with enormous aesthetic range and formal mastery to reveal the trained eye of the photographer."

Die Kunst der Ndebele-Frauen
Verleger: "Über Generationen haben
die Frauen des Ndebele-Stammes eine reiche, lebendige Kunst hervorgebracht. Mit Perlenschmuck und
großflächigen Malereien auf den Außenwänden ihrer Häuser schaffen sie noch heute eine Formenwelt, die
in ihrer Einfachheit, ihre Farbpracht und in ihren kühnen abstrakten Mustern gleichermaßen alt wie modern
wirkt. Als Margaret Courtney-Clarke in den 1980ern an diesem Buch arbeitete, waren die Ndebele besonders den
Härten der südafrikanischen Apartheitspolitik ausgesetzt. Die hier vorliegenden Fotografien legen daher
auch Zeugnis ab von Menschen, die trotz unsäglichen Leids nicht aufgehört haben, ihre unmittelbare
Umgebung mit großer Farbenpracht und fantasievollen Mustern zu schmücken."

Vanishing Cultures of South Africa
Changing Customs in a Changing World
von Peter Magubane (Fotos), Alan Mountain (Text) & Hazel Friedman (Text), Vorwort von Nelson Mandela
Gebundene Ausgabe, 168 Seiten, 296
Farbfotos, 2 Farbillustrationen, 1 Farbkarte Struik Publishers
(Südafrika), Juli 1998, ISBN 1-86825-967-6
Klappentext: "With political, social
and economic changes transforming South Africa, the age-old ways of life bound to ethnic cultures of the
region are slowly fading. In the photographs of the highly acclaimed photojournalist Peter Magubane and a
fascinating, sensitive text, Vanishing Cultures of South Africa reveals the ways of the indigenous
groups, recording the roots of South African cultural identity. Ten major ethnic groupings are featured -
including the San, Zulu, Ndebele, Basotho and Venda - as well as several smaller sub-groups. This book
describes the individual personality and history of each, their education, languages, laws, medicine and
magic, and their religion. Over 200 photographs capture the vibrant colour of ornamentation, ceremonial and
everyday dress, musical instruments, dances and rites of passage, art, homes and work. Details of today's
way of life - the remarkable metal neck rings and the geometrically beaded wire hoops worn by Ndebele and
Ntwana women, the sacrificial ceremonies of the Zulu, the long pipes smoked by the Xhosa, and the
traditional hunter-gatherer weapons of the San, deep in the Kalahari Desert - are recorded here in evocative
pictures, while former traditions, now lost, fill the text with the intriguing, vital history of each group.
Vanishing Cultures of South Africa is a cultural record of striking importance, capturing the beauty
of the still-meaningful customs and the powerful ties of traditional life."

Vanishing Faces of Southern Africa
von Donald Heywood, Vorwort von Steve Bales
Gebundene Ausgabe, 111 Seiten, 45 Farb-
& 51 Schwarzweißillustrationen, 1 Karte Human & Rousseau
(Südafrika), Dezember 1994, ISBN 0-7981-3303-1
Klappentext: "Vanishing Faces of
Southern Africa is a celebration of the extraordinary richness and diversity of the cultural heritage of
the people of Southern Africa as expressed in their traditional costumes and customs. With the keen eye of a
sensitive portrait painter, Donald Heywood has captured a beauty and visible identity widely neglected in
the past due to the Eurocentric emphasis in cultural history research in South Africa. At a time when this
heritage is seriously threatened by a rapidly changing society, Heywood's paintings provide a record for
posterity. »Vanishing Faces of Southern Africa, the magnificent final product of many years of
dedicated and painstaking work... plays an important role in conservation and preservation... Donald Heywood
should be satisfied that he has create accurate, natural and sympathetic renderings of a passing era for
future generations.« Steve Bales, Custodian of Art, First National Bank of Southern
Africa Limited, in his Foreword to this book."

Zulu
von Roger de la Harpe (Fotos), Pat de la Harpe (Fotos), Sue Derwent (Text) & Barry Leitch (Beratung)
Gebundene Ausgabe, 168 Seiten, 248
Farbfotos, 1 Schwarzweiß- & 2 Farbillustrationen, 1 Farbkarte Struik Publishers
(Südafrika), November 1998, ISBN 1-86872-082-9
Klappentext: "The Zulu people are
renowned as a nation of proud warriors under their mighty kings: Shaka, Dingane, Mpande, Cetshwayo and
Dinuzulu. However, the Zulu kingdom represents a very brief span of time: forged in the 1820s, it was
crushed by the British in the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. Although this short period of their history may
perhaps be best known, there is in fact far more to the Zulu people than this. In this intriguing book, the
Zulu are depicted as they are today - tending their cattle, working on their lands and building their
beehive houses; courting, attending their coming of age ceremonies and marrying; stick-fighting and dancing;
looking after their children; making and drinking beer; and creating the beautiful beaded articles for which
the women are famous. The Zulu are rightly proud of their cultural heritage, and many traditional customs
are still observed. Some practices have been recently established, for instance the Reed Ceremony, which was
introduced in 1984 as a means of promoting chastity in the young women. The vibrant photographs and
accessible text in Zulu reveal the contemporary rural people, and show how Western elements have been
incorporated into their traditional ways of life."
