Download or read book The Sudan written by M. W. Daly and published by Garnet Education. This book was released on 1994 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photographs reproduced in this book mainly cover the years between 1899 and the 1950s, when the Sudan, Africa's largest country, was ruled by a nominal Condominium of Britain and Egypt. They comprise a pictorial record - however impressionistic, subjective, and incomplete - of an era. The authors have selected the 240 photographs in the book from the many thousands held in the Sudan Archive at the University Library, Durham, UK. The selection has been made with an eye to both historical interest and artistic merit. Consequently there is an emphasis on older photographs, many of which are probably unique, and less representation of the later years, for which the photographic record is more extensive. This is not, therefore, a photographic history, but rather a collection of historical photographs. Mainly taken by British officials and tourists, the photographs emphasise British subjects. Although it is important to bear in mind that the British were a tiny minority in the Sudan and that their style of life there was exotic in the extreme, it is nonetheless useful to see in black and white something of the way they lived. The photographs reproduced here record a broad span of human experience and achievement: events of historical or military significance, feats of engineering, and the daily life and recreation of the Sudanese and their temporary rulers.

Book excerpt: 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 and Carol Beckwith have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly disappearing ceremonies and 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, and this is where the Dinka set up their camps. The men dust their bodies and faces with gray ash--protection against flies and lethal malarial mosquitoes, but also considered a mark of beauty. Covered with this ash and up to 7' 6- tall, the Dinka were referred to as -gentle- or -ghostly- giants by the early explorers. The Dinka call themselves -jieng- and -mony-jang, - which means -men of men.-

Download or read book Nuba Latuka written by Aaron Schuman and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic series by legendary Magnum photographer George Rodger introduced the Western world to the Nuba peoples of Sudan. In 1949 the photographer and co-founder of Magnum Photos, George Rodger, learned of the Nuba tribe while traveling in the Kordofan region of the Sudan. Remarkably, he was granted permission by the Sudanese government to take pictures of these striking people, who lived as their ancestors had centuries before. After publication in National Geographic magazine, these pictures--as well as Rodger's fascinating journal entries from the shoot--have not been available to the wider public. Now, Rodger's rare softly colored Kodachrome images are gathered in a sumptuous volume, and introduced in an essay by photographer Chris Steele-Perkins. Beautifully reproduced, Rodger's photographs emphasize the muted colors of the Sudanese landscape as well as the Nuba's penchant for vivid body paint, clothing, and jewelry. They are a superb example of early color photography, and a stunning celebration of a little-known tribe that lives in one of the world's harshest environments.

Download or read book Sudan written by Michael Freeman and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudan: The Land and the People presents the whole of Africa's largest country. Nearly one-third the size of the United States, Sudan sprawls over more than one million square miles. Here for more than a thousand years Arabs and Africans have collided and blended to produce people who share a turbulent history and rich cultural heritage. More than 350 unique languages, customs, and artistic traditions combine to form the ethnic patchwork of Africa's most diverse country. Internationally renowned photographer Michael Freeman traveled the length and breadth of Sudan to capture these extraordinary photos of modern Sudan. Sudan's richness is not only in its water, minerals, and oil, but in its ethnic and cultural mixture. Its promise lies in a durable end to conflict through acceptance of its plurality and diversity to realize prosperity for an entire region.
