Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly disappearing ceremonies and cultures of the indigenous people of Africa. Following on their landmark work African Ceremonies, the preeminent photographers have focused on the distinct culture of the Dinka. The Dinka of Southern Sudan are one of the most distinctive groups of pastoralists on the African continent. Covered with ash and up to 7'6" tall, the Dinka were referred to as "gentle" or "ghostly" giants by the early explorers. Living in perfect harmony with their cattle, they believe their animals are their essential link to God. During the dry season they move their herds in search of pasture through the vast swamplands of the River Nile, crossing its many tributaries and surviving on the milk of their cattle. World-renowned photographers Beckwith and Fisher have visited the Dinka for the past 30 years. Their photographs capture the magnificence, human dignity, and splendor of these people as they go about their daily lives with their beloved animals. Capturing on film their culture and traditions, Fisher and Beckwith have brought an awareness of this region to the world. Their beautiful volume, with more than 220 pages of photographs, serves as a lasting homage to one of the last great pastoral peoples on the continent.
