African Kings: Portraits of a Disappearing Era ハードカバー – 2000/10/1
英語版
Daniel Laine
(著)
Even today there are close to 100 tribal kings in Africa, vestiges of a former agetheir ancient traditions preserved, their wisdom and power still honored. A portal into these worlds of mysterious rites, ancient customs, and fantastic finery, AFRICAN KINGS takes us into the inner circle of 70 of these tribes in the person of their king. Gorgeous formal portraits of each king, in full regalia, are accompanied by brief biographies and historical notes on the tribe and the rituals and history associated with each ruler. AFRICAN KINGS introduces us to a way of life rarely glimpsed, with anthropological roots as deep as any on the earth, as they make the transition into a new millennium. Includes a historical introduction that provides an overview of the king's role in African tribes.

~去年、南アフリカ・ケープタウンでアフリカの王様の写真集を買った。これが天才バカボンがシリアスに思えるほど多種多様な王様たちの肖像を60名以上集めた力作で、眺めていると「人は何をしても自由だ」という気持ちになれる。つーか、アフリカすごい。わけわかんない。ハリボテの車の上で正装してイイ湯加減にほほえみを浮かべる王様、両手に旧式なライフル、~~口にナイフ、体中に板を編んて作ったムスリムマジックで庇護された戦闘服(?)を着用したフルメタル・ジャケットな王様、ヒョウの尾でつくったパンツと王冠で半裸でポーズを決める王様、そしてどう見てもヤクザにしか見えない本物の凄みで威圧する王様。とにかく、豊かさは貧しさに比例しないことを証明する地下王権マジカル・スピリッツ爆裂な一冊。さっきAm~~azon検索したら売っていました。ハードカバー・オールカラー160p、輸入盤CD2枚分の価格はリーズナブル。アート&バカ写真好きはもちろん、ルーツなHipHopジャケット・コレクターにも元ネタ探しヒント集としておすすめデス。~

The most amazing chronicle
2004年7月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I adore this book. I do historical research, and originally ordered it from the library; I loved it so much I had to buy my own copy. Then my brother-in-law (from Nigeria) started reading it to our 8 month old niece, so I bought him a copy. I just cannot believe one dude got access to all these kings, and they agreed to pose for him. I look upon it alternately with reverence and with hilarity. There's a hilarious juxtaposition of the old and new, as with the king riding in a "car," and you can gaze forever and still not see all the strange modern objects in the background such as the fridge one king displays so proudly. It's historically accurate that kings would take any European woman's flowered dressing gown and convert it into a robe, and incongruous hats given to them by colonial powers were always revered.
The one thing they all have in common is they are all men with pride.

Beautiful images, not very in-depth but good reference for further research. Book cam earlier than stated delivery date. And in relatively good condition.

African Kings

I gave this book to my son who had been in the Peace Corps in Benin--and inside it I printed out copies of pictures I had taken of some of the kings in the 60's when I was in the Peace Corps in Nigeria. I had pictures of the Fon of Bafut with me standing beside him and the another of the Sardona of Sokoto. The photos are so interesting and remind me of photos we took in 63-65 when people showed their most valuable possessions when being photographed.

Very nice historical work
2016年4月23日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Very nice historical work. I particularly enjoyed the different attires worn by kings across Africa. It is not all about the attire only, but also the decor which is amazing, and beautiful. I am grateful to the author for this beautiful work of art, capturing a disappearing era, especially given that many kings no longer wear these attires, and are more prone to wear 'modern' European clothing. Moreover, some of the clothing is very heavy, requires a lot of preparation, and may be worn only once a year, or so often... so kudos to the author for this beautiful work. I just wish the author had included more information about the kings themselves, and not just their names and countries.
