Sebastião Salgado's book is a comprehensive visual exploration of Africa, compiled over 30 years. The esteemed photojournalist captured over 40 reportage works that depict the continent's diverse life and challenges. The book presents images in three sections: southern Africa (including Mozambique, Malawi, and Namibia), the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, and others), and the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, and more). Salgado's powerful black-and-white photographs reveal the impacts of war, poverty, and climate challenges. Complementary texts by Mozambican novelist Mia Couto discuss the enduring effects of colonization and ongoing crises.
