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. African Ceremonies, Inc. and Timeless Art Productions are proud to announce the publication of DINKA, a collection of photographs by Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith. DINKA is a monumental 30-year review of the Dinka people containing 224 pages and more than 120 photographic images with personal accounts from Fisher and Beckwith. This is a one-of-a-kind collector's edition, bound in a fabric-covered presentation box and includes one of four high-quality prints, suitable for framing. Purchases are used to help Fisher and Beckwith complete their photographic fieldwork, help with community building projects in Africa and provide some scholarships to Dinka refugees in the USA.
