South Africa

South Africa is a place of wonder, intrigue and glorious color. In search of the soul of a newly awakening land, Gerald Hoberman has photographed an ancient sacrifical ceremony of the Xhosa, captured the lifestyle of Bushmen living close to the land, and shared mampoer, a homemade brew, with farmers in the Groot Marica district. With South Africa, Gerald Hoberman has captured a beautiful country and its people in a time of excitement and transformation, while retaining an eye for that which does not change; old places and ancient customs upon which time seems to have no grasp. This splendid volume is a must for all those with an interest in this remarkable country on the southern tip of Africa.
