Conflict and Costume: The Herero Tribe of Namibia

Conflict and Costume: The Herero Tribe of Namibia

Hardcover Monograph English 108 pages 25 x 30 cm 1.04 kg

Description

The photographic approach in Conflict and Costume: The Herero Tribe of Namibia centers on intimate and vivid portrayals of the Herero people, focusing on their distinctive traditional dress as a symbol of cultural identity and historical memory.

The book captures the complex interplay between heritage and conflict through carefully composed images that reveal how clothing serves as a narrative of survival and resilience amid a backdrop of colonial history and its lasting impacts.

Published in 2013 by Merrell Publishers, this 108-page volume by Jim Naughten uses its focused visual strategy to document both the aesthetic and sociopolitical dimensions of the Herero tribe.
