It starts off with birth and ends up with funeral ceremonies tracing the rites of passage ceremonies from birth through death.With these traditional cultures slowly disappearing, the magnificent photos contained within this book will bear testament to these intriguing cultures, and peoples, making this a truly collectable book set.
We hosted Carol and Angela for a book signing for this monumental book back in 1999, and have since sold hundreds of copies of these important volumes. Unfortunately most of these ceremonies have died out, so luckily Carol and Angela were there to photograph and document these traditions.
