Africa by Sebastião Salgado

Three decades across a vast, changing continent

Good Condition – visible dust-jacket tears and edge wear.

Africa brings together Sebastião Salgado’s powerful black-and-white photographs from journeys made across the continent over three decades. Organised as a broad visual passage through southern Africa, the Great Lakes region, and the Sahel, the collection records landscapes, communities, work, migration, conflict, displacement, and survival with the photographer’s unmistakable sense of scale and human dignity. Images of immense natural beauty sit beside stark testimony to famine, war, and social upheaval, creating a portrait that is both lyrical and unflinching. Carefully sequenced by Lélia Wanick Salgado, this substantial volume draws together work associated with several of Salgado’s major projects. It is an enduring document of Africa’s diversity, resilience, history, and profound visual presence.
