AFRICAN KINGS: Portrait of a Disappearing Era, Daniel Laine
There are close to 100 tribal kings in Africa today -- their ancient traditions preserved, their wisdom and power still honored. A portal into these worlds of mysterious rites, ancient customs, and fantastic finery, this book takes us into the inner circle of 70 of these tribes in the person of their king. 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 with anthropological roots as deep as any on earth.
