About Tribal Ethiopia
Product Description THE TRUTH ABOUT TRIBAL ETHIOPIA A picture is worth a thousand words. How much is the value of 286 pictures by the Dutch photographer Ingetje Tadros telling you the Truth of Tribal Ethiopia? Amazing and astonishing. Have a look inside and feel the threats by the Gibe III Hydroelectric Dam. A portion of sales of this book will be donated to "Survival", The Movement for Tribal Peoples: http://www.survivalinternational.org Review Ingetje Tadros images have all the hallmarks of a master photographer. Her images are a powerful blend of documentary portraiture with a candid insightfulness that leads the reader on an extraordinary journey into the world of tribal Ethiopia. Tadros's works is reminiscent of the great Henri Cartier-Bresson with her seemingly effortless ability to capture 'the decisive moment' where her subjects appear totally unaware of the presence of the camera. And yet there are other images, direct, confronting and demanding where the subjects connection with the viewer is wholly captivating. Ingetje's images contain a rawness and energy that is so sorely lacking from much of todays photography. Throughout this book Ingetje Tadros imagery is filled with a wonderful warmth and humanity that is intriguing, infectious and totally absorbing. Her work has given me a fresh insight into a country that is so often shown in a negative light. Ingetje Tadros's book gave me hope. J.C. Just wanted to share my thoughts on this awe inspiring book. Ingetje Tadros has captured tribal people in a way that is personal and inviting. The imagery is world class. Makes me want to drop everything and go travelling. It's rare that a photographer gets this close to these people. They obviously trust her and have let her into their amazing worlds. She has treated her subjects with respect and admiration and they in return have open their souls. V. We were lucky enough to have a look through "Tribal Ethopia," Inge's first published book, before it hit the 'stores'. Have been fans of her work for years and always look forward to the collections of images she brings back from her photographic jaunts to the villages of the world. She has the ability to capture the true essence of their character and stories, not matter what their situation, history or circumstance. There is always much colour, joy, hope, human beauty and high spirits in the faces of Inge's subjects. She is able to draw out the best from them all. Now, through this wonderful book, Inge shares with the world what she sees through the camera's lens, with her eyes and heart. A visual feast! We will treasure our copy and enjoy sharing it with our friends and family. F. Here we see about 250 photos taken by a Dutch photographer with an excellent camera set-up (that lens alone is to cherish, and the envy of any photographer) published generously in an over 350 page book, with minimal captions presenting the culture, letting the images speak for themselves, and a very brief introduction explaining, very briefly, that these people's property, culture, ways of life and of survival, and lives will soon be entirely wiped out by the building of an enormous dam which benefits only the central government far away and the energy corporations. Perhaps more text might help those of us unfamiliar with the drastic situation which these good people soon will suffer, having survived for centuries with joy and dignity and love in a very hostile environment, only to be wiped out now by an unseeing bureaucracy far away. Perhaps these simple images may draw this plight, this crime against humanity, to the eyes of the world. Certainly we can each easily do the heavy lifting and the research from our armchair of the history and present perilous plight of these peoples. Perhaps a more specific title might help in this. We must look to the brief introduction to find specific tribal name and the name of the dam under construction. But the photos, as in any great photography, speak for
