SALGADO'S AFRICA

摘要

FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, BRAZILIAN PHOTOJOURNALIST SEBASTIAO SALGADO HAS BEEN A ROVING PROPHET WITH A CAMERA, ALERTING THE DEVELOPED WORLD TO THE CONSEQUENCES-UNINTENDED AND OTHERWISE-OF UNCHECKED GLOBALIZATION. BUT NO MATTER HOW HARROWING THE JOURNEY HAS BECOME, HIS ELOQUENT, UNFORGETTABLE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE INVARIABLY ATTUNED TO THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. SALGADO HAS PRODUCED MANY OF HIS CHALLENGING AND REWARDING PHOTO ESSAYS IN AFRICA, HOME TO 46 COUNTRIES, NEARLY ONE BILLION PEOPLE, COUNTLESS HARDSHIPS, AND DREAMS WITHOUT NUMBER. A RECENT BOOK OF HIS AFRICAN IMAGES TRACES HIS ODYSSEY OF HOPE. CONTRIBUTING EDITOR DEAN BRIERLY LOOKS BACK AT A DEEPLY AFFECTING BODY OF WORK.
