This seminal volume on the indigenous African Dinka group is a landmark documentation of a vanishing people in war-torn Sudan. World-renowned photographers Angela Fisher & Carol Beckwith have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly disappearing ceremonies & cultures of the indigenous people of Africa. In breathtakingly poignant images, they present a story that started with their first visit to the Dinka thirty years ago. Living in harmony with their cattle, the Dinka have survived years of war only to find their culture on the brink of vanishing forever. Where the White Nile River reaches Dinka country, it spills over 11, 000 square miles of flood plain to form the Sudd, the largest swamp in the world. In the dry season, it provides abundant pasture for cattle, & this is where the Dinka set up their camps. The men dust their bodies & faces with gray ash--protection against flies & lethal malarial mosquitoes, but also considered a mark of beauty.

The Dinka call themselves ”jieng” & ”mony-jang, ” which means ”men of men.” ...

Not for some forty years was it published, & yet it is one of the most honest, clear-sighted & affectionate portraits of rural Turkey, testimony to Proverbs 15:17, ` Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than feasting on a fattened ox where hatred also dwells`. ...

The author charts Mugabe`s gradual self-destruction, & uncovers some of the most respectable international players in the Zimbabwe tragedy.
