The unique cultural landscape of southern Africa (Nambia, Zimbabwe,
Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa) is a highly dynamic and
complex area where old traditions are confronted by explosive
social and political upheavals. The resulting contradictions and
conflicts stimulate a directions as well as ancient roots. The
collection of highly varied essays by knowledgeable experts on
Africa ranges from historical and political problems to questions
of artistic production and of how to deal with culture and nature
in the face of industrialisation and globalisation. Art is one of
the major subjects, and the contemporary artistic activities,
including photography. The publication presents a picture of a
vigorously alive southern Africa, contradicting common western
Cliches which regard the region as having no art and solely being
riddled with problems of post-apartheid, crime and AIDS.
