Sahel

Více o knize

The book captures Sebastiao Salgado's poignant fifteen-month project documenting the severe drought in the Sahel region of Africa during the 1980s, where millions faced extreme malnutrition. Collaborating with Doctors Without Borders, he portrayed both the suffering and dignity of refugees, setting a precedent for his future humanitarian photography. The black-and-white images emphasize the stark realities of poverty, conflict, and environmental degradation, highlighting the ongoing disparity between the world's affluent and impoverished. Thoughtful narratives complement this powerful visual testimony.
