Peoples of Ethiopia: Lowlands – Highlands – Hinterlands

Robert Waddingham

Philip Briggs

A remarkable photographic celebration of the diverse peoples of Ethiopia. The remarkable portraits gathered here – at times moving and personal, but always arresting – explore the staggering breadth and diversity of Ethiopia’s people. From the nomads of the lowland deserts through to the ancient Christian communities of the highlands and to the tribes inhabiting the remote Omo valley, Peoples of Ethiopia is a comprehensive picture of the nation’s human heritage. Here manners and customs are frequently little changed since ancient times and we have an intriguing glimpse into a vanishing world. – A beautiful photographic book for anyone with an interest in portraiture – A fascinating study of Ethiopia today – Over 200 previously unpublished images
