Customer Reviews

Visually lush, decent information

The imagery in this book is beautiful. Photography and printing, excellent. Focused primarily on Voodoo in Benin, Africa. Most Voodoo texts cover primarily Hatian or American practices, so this book enjoys a bit of rarity. The information is fairly guidebook/expidition style. Not particularly sociological or studious, it presents recollections and learnings of the author and photographer as they traveled through Benin to photograph their subjects. Worth the price of admission for the quality of the images.
