AFRICAN CEREMONIES-CAR0L BECKWITH AND ANGELA FISHER "African Ceremonies is photographic story telling and adventure at its finest. It is art rather than ethnographic documentation and will, no doubt, be the definitive photographic record of African ceremonies for a long time to come."
"The photos alone make these volumes a treasure. The text is clear and brings new understanding to any reader."
"The music of these images is at once visual and alive celebrating the sacred as timeless expressions of culture and community."
