Dogon doumbo doumbo

This book concentrates on the village of Youga Nah, one of the founding sites of the mythology of the Dogon people, settled in Western Africa between Bandiagara and the Niger river. For the authors it is about re-giving life to a culture too often seen as unchanging. Extra large pages, the poetical power of Michèle Odeyé-Finzi's text and the remarkable quality of Michel Denancé's colour photography combine to make this an exceptional book.
