Olusegun Fayemi A. Voices from Within: Photographs of African Children

Albofa Press, 1999. — 170 p.A book of 145 duotone photographs of children from 12 different countries in Africa, south of the Sahara. It celebrates the lives of ordinary children and their every day life: how they are nurtured and reared, the games they play, their adolescence and growing up years, their education and their role within their families and immediate environment.I thought I was doing well in America until I saw the orgy of happines in these photographs. An authoritative and majestic presentation...A brilliant orchestra of gumption in imagery and a mastery of the photographic arts. There has been no greater exhibition of the quintessence of the human spirit than one sees in these images. The ancestors must be proud and generation to come will be glad for Fayemi's Voices From Within.
