African Gods: Contemporary Rituals and Beliefs

Posted by Ruth Miller on Wed 16th January 2008 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Travel Books

One of my favourite travel books has to be African Gods: Contemporary Rituals and Beliefs. Why? Well it’s simply stunning in it’s portrayal of shamen, healers and Voodoism.

The photography is by Daniel Lainé whose techniques seem to extract every possible essence from the subjects in frame. The world he interprets is a little frightening in some respects but fiendishly complicated in other respects. The book shines a light on this often forgotten topic offering scary and disturbing insights.

Check it out if you want some compelling reading

Retails for £27.50 ($55).
