African Ceremonies

African Twilight is the two-volume, slipcased magnum opus of the two pioneering documentary photographers of African tribal cultures and ceremonies--a world that is quickly vanishing before our very eyes. Now, nearly two decades after these photographer's landmark African Ceremonies and with a greater sense of urgency, this book completes the journey, covering disappearing rituals and ceremonies from some of the most inaccessible corners of the African continent, to create the definitive statement on this subject. This new landmark volume will set the standard for capturing a visual testament to the vanishing traditions of African peoples.No other book like this exists or can ever be created again, as more than 40 percent of what has been documented here has already vanished. For the last 15 years of their four decades of African fieldwork, world-renowned photographers Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have continued their journey across Africa, seeking out remote communities to record the sacred ceremonies, powerful art forms, and boundless creativity of the people living there today. This ground-breaking book is a testament to these vanishing moments and peoples. African Twilight is a celebration of the powerful artistry and boundless creativity of Africa's cultural heritage for audiences worldwide, transporting viewers into a world of connections between individual and community, body and soul, land and people. All of the photography is previously unpublished.

This book is now a classic study of the huge diversity of adornment in Africa. It is a work of great beauty and an invaluable contribution to a field of study popular in all parts of the world. In more than 400 colour photographs Angela Fisher's book explores the body adornment, modification and the jewellery from many different African cultures. Worn by both men and women, African jewellery has both material and symbolic value and Fisher looks at both the jewellery itself and the meanings behind it. Travelling throughout Africa while creating this book, Angela Fisher lived among people of diverse cultures, from the Zulu of Southern Africa to the Lobi of the Ivory Coast and the Berbers of the desert, studying and photographing what they wear and the significance they attach to the objects and decorative forms in their daily lives. The result is an extraordinary and unique book.
