Seller's Description:
Like New in Very Good jacket. Size: 9x0x12; Inscribed "For Al. With very best wishes for safe trails and benevolent spirits. 1999. Charlie". A rare glimpse of an exotic and imperiled rain-forest culture is the extraordinary record of a Western photographer's eight-year friendship with a tribal medicine man. The result of this intimate relationship is Mentawai Shaman, a color portfolio of more than eighty dramatic photographs, augmented with excerpts from Lindsay's journals. Together they detail his warm personal interaction with Aman Lau Lau Manai and the community in which he plays a central role. A historical essay by Dr. Reimar Schefold, an internationally respected anthropological authority on the Mentawaians, provides a learned yet accessible overview totheir esoteric way of life and the extent to which it is menaced by progress. Charles Lindsay has photographed for 25 years at the interface between culture and nature and is the author of six books of photography.
