Description
"Impressions of the Sahara sets out to explore the cultural heritage of this little-studied region. The chapters follow the caravan routes across the desert, stopping to celebrate local traditions such as the wall paintings of the women of Mauritania; the colorful markets of the Moroccan oasis towns; the illuminated manuscripts copied by generations of scribes and scholars; and the raw earth mosques of Niger, decorated with elaborate carvings that have survived centuries of exposure to the elements." "Illustrated in vibrant color throughout, Impressions of the Sahara is a photographic record of the colors of the desert and the artistic heritage of those who live there."--Jacket.
