Feeling the Spirit: Searching the World for the People of Africa Book

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 15:23:08 +0000

“We are Africans not because we are born in Africa, but because Africa is born in us. Look around you and behold us in our greatness. Greatness is an African possibility; you can make it yours. ” — Chester Higgins Jr.
In Feeling the Spirit, esteemed photojournalist Chester Higgins, Jr. tells the story of a people – by capturing the fierce dignity, enduring traditions, and empowering spirituality that live in all men and women of African descent throughout the world. Higgins’ odyssey of discovery has spanned three decades and led him across boundaries of geography, nationality, and culture. He has visited the sites of ancient civilizations, joined in religious celebrations rarely open to outsiders, and experienced private moments both joyous and heartbreaking with families and communities in more than thirty countries in North and South America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe. Now, in these pages, Higgins combines 220 images with his own evocative prose to share the findings of his extraordinary journey. From reclaiming a long-misrepresented history, to providing an intimate look at sacred rituals passed down through the centuries, to exploring the simple yet profound significance of water in daily life, Feeling the Spirit paints a vibrant collective portrait of the African identity as it thrives not just in Africa, but in all parts of the world.
“We are Africans not because we are born in Africa, but because Africa is born in us. Look around you and behold us in our greatness. Greatness is an African possibility; you can make it yours. ” — Chester Higgins Jr.

The Khmers History and Treasures of an Ancient Civilization Art Book

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 15:14:59 +0000

The Khmers History and Treasures of an Ancient Civilization by Stefano Vecchia.
This is a history of the Khmers, the people who for thousands of years inhabited the wooded interior of Cambodia. One hundred and fifty years ago the representatives of imperial France were astonished to find half-buried within the jungle the still magnificent ruins of vast temples.Justly described as one of the wonders of the world, these were the remnants of the once great Angkor Empire. Since then archaeologists and historians have attempted to piece together its history.This book presents the history of Khmer civilization. The rise of Angkor is usually dated to the early ninth century and the accession of Jayavarman II, although the consolidation of the Cambodian nation, marked by a record of impressive religious constructions, was a fitful process that had begun earlier and continued over many centuries.By the eleventh century the empire claimed dominion over large parts of Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. The book describes its organization, the daily life of kings, priests and farmers, and the work of the craftsmen who created in stone and bronze the imperial and religious centers of power. “The Khmers” is a readable and vivid account of its fascinating subject. It is fully illustrated with beautiful photographs, and is a detailed account on the development of this ancient civilization.
Steeped in spirituality, rich in an architectural heritage that gave the world such treasures as the temple of Angkor Wat and admired for the creation of a sophisticated irrigation system, the Khmer have long been a source of fascination to us. Through hundreds of superb photographs and insightful text, this impressive volume explores the evolution, development, and decline of this once-mighty civilization. Starting with the emergence of the Khmer or Angkor Civilization that came into existence during the period from 802 to 1431 A.D., Stefano Vecchio traces the history, outlining the milestones and shedding new light on the beliefs, politics, scientific developments, and artistic efforts of the Khmer.

About the Author:
Stefano Vecchia is the editor-in-chief of the magazine Popoli. Previously, he was head of Asia News, the first Italian agency dedicated to information about Asian Countries and peoples.

Vanishing Africa by Giansanti, Giann Hardcover Photography Book

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 15:11:23 +0000

Vanishing Africa hardcover book by Giann Giansanti author photographer.
This book represents months of work of planning and in the field, but above all it is a tribute to the eternal beauty of Africa; the photographs and text ‘steal’ from the peoples of the Omo a fragment of their mystery and truth. But with delicacy and respect. By examining a small region in the heart of the continent, the books attempts to trace the roots of remotest Africa; the cradle of man, where ancestral bonds with nature still exist. It is a place where the link with the dark side of existence is not hidden, as happens in the West, but exhibited. By means of his camera and his pen, in this book the author has encapsulated long years of study of the most interesting peoples and ethnic groups in Africa. Centered around a series of extraordinary photographs, the book is a sort of reportage from the edge of the world, in search of vanishing Africa.
A splendid pictorial journey across the immense and magnificent continent and its people. Through images of extraordinary power and immediacy, photographer Gianni Giansanti takes the reader on a journey of discovery in Africa, and illustrates the life and traditions of the tribes who live there with a moving collection of African portraits. Each photograph becomes a masterpiece of abstract art, revealing close-ups of the tribes’ traditional body paintings

Living Tribes Colin Prior Constable, 2003, Indigenous People Art Book

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 15:10:22 +0000

Living tribes by Colin Prior
Indigenous peoples – 191 pages.
Published by published by Constable & Robinson Ltd., 3 The Lanchesters, 162 Fulham Palace Road, London First Edition. London 2003.
A dazzling array of unique ethnic cultures still inhabit the world. Though some are fast disappearing, others have managed to retain their identity in the face of today’s pressure for globalization. This extraordinary collection of photographs by Colin Prior records the surviving ways of life of fifteen of the world’s most individual tribes and ethnic groups. Unlike some collections there is no artifice for the camera here. Each view of the people shows them as they really live, and Prior’s images focus on expressive qualities of costume, jewellery and physiognomy, as well as the esoteric nature of such different ways of life. He brings to his photography a strong personal vision combined with supreme technical mastery of his chosen medium. From the legendary Turkana of Kenya to the Inuit of Alaska, Living Tribes is a paean to cultural diversity in the spirit of Mirella Ricciardi’s Vanishing Africa. Peoples featured include the Himba, Herero, Maasai, Samburu, Turkana, Berber, Balti, Ladakhi, Bhutanese, Lisu, Padaung, Toraja, Khampa, Aborigine and Inuit. Globalization may well be the key to economic growth in some countries but it is happening at the expense of the thousands of indigenous cultures that still survive around the world. The Himba of Namibia for example have battled for five years against the proposed construction of a giant hydroelectric dam on their land. Still the government thinks to push through the plan. ‘In our world a dam is a small thing that gives cattle water. What you are talking about is something else and will finish the Himba,’ says Chief Katjira Muniombara. These peoples have a right to preserve their way of life. They hold vital, intimate knowledge of their environment that is passed down from generation to generation orally, in art works and handicrafts rather than being written down. Living Tribes draws attention to these cultures fighting to keep unique customs and heritage alive.
