Title: The People of Kau
Description: London, Collins. 1978, Reprint. Green Cloth, 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Book, 224 pages. Second reprint. Old name on front endpaper. This is a photographic monograph on the life of the people of Kau. Leni Riefenstahl spent 16 weeks with the Nuba of Kau in 1975. These people, known as the "South East Nuba", live only 100 miles away from the Mesakin Nuba. Yet, they speak another language, follow different customs, and are very different in character and temperament. Their knife-fights, dances of love and elaborately painted faces and bodies are represented in the book. Very Good.
