Ghana

This first French edition of 'Ghana' is a significant photographic work documenting the West African nation. It features black-and-white photographs by renowned American photographer Paul Strand, who spent four months in the country in 1963. The visual narrative is accompanied by insightful commentary and text by Basil Davidson, providing historical and cultural context to the images. Published in 1976 by Éditions du Chêne (Paris) in collaboration with Aperture, the book serves as a humanistic portrait of Ghana's people, landscapes, and its transition toward independence. The work is noted for its high print quality and captures the underlying unity and character of the African continent through Strand's intuitive lens.
