This review is from: Kakuma - Turkana, Dueling Struggles: Africa's Forgotten Peoples (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book. I speny a good deal of time in Turkana in 2000 and this book truly captures what Turkana is like. It is very moving and beautiful. I recommend it to anyone who has a heart for the struggles of other human beings and especially those who love African culture.

Emotional and unforgettable black-and-white photographs,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kakuma - Turkana, Dueling Struggles: Africa's Forgotten Peoples (Hardcover)
Featuring a Foreword by the Dalai Lama, Kakuma - Turkana: Dueling Struggles, Africa's Forgotten Peoples by Daniel Cheng Yang offers the nonspecialist general reader a profound interesting photographic journal of the struggles of the indigenous peoples of northwest Kenya. The emotional and unforgettable black-and-white photographs capture the harsh reality of life in lands with highly limited resources in an unforgettable compendium of images and commentary. Kakuma - Turkana is highly recommended photo-documentary for African Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.

This review is from: Kakuma - Turkana, Dueling Struggles: Africa's Forgotten Peoples (Hardcover)
A very informative book of a country not covered by the media. The photographs bring the reader to an understanding of the plights these people face in everyday life
