We cite from the COVER:
"South Africa has always stimulated imaginations around the globe. Around twenty photographers - Bonile Bam, Jodi Bieber, Pierre Crocquet, David Goldblatt, Bob Gosani, George Hallett, Ranjith Kally, Alf Kumalo, Peter Magubane, Gideon Mendel, Santu Mofo-keng, G. R. Naidoo, Cedric Nunn, Sam Nzima, Mikhael Subotzky, Andrew Tshabangu, gille de vlieg, Paul Weinberg, and anonymous photographers for Drum Magazine (BAHA Archives) - provide insight into the history and culture of South Africa from 1950 to the present day. These mainly black-and-white pictures are divided into three periods: 1950-1976 Apartheid; 1976-1994 Struggle; and .1994-2010 Freedom. They document social, political, cultural, and everyday life, the country's economic situation, and the struggle for survival in the mega-cities."
"South Africa is a very complex country that is forcefully attempting to maintain a sense of its past and its visual legacy. This publication represents an important contribution beyond all the familiar superficialities and stereotypes."
