Description
This book documents the unique stylistic acumen of the Xhosa people of Transkei, an area of eastern South Africa bounded by the Indian Ocean and Drakensberg Mountains. The images offer proof that material poverty is no bar to a sense of taste and style, and designers jaded with relentless western materialism may find fresh inspiration here. The photos are not just of interiors, but the people themselves and various aspects of their way of life.The book radiates a serene sincerity that makes accusations of patronisation seem cynical and churlish.
