THE SURVIVORS presents tribe cultures from all over the world who live today according to the conventions of their ancestors. They confront us eye to eye in haunting reportage photographs and lively text. The here and now of selected ethnic groups is put under the microscope... Which abilities distinguish these tribes from other tribes? Which well-known men and women have emerged from their ranks? What rights have they fought for and won? This large format illustrated volume answers these questions with numerous examples from the Australian Aborigines to the South African Zulu. Many of these somewhat different citizens of the world are seeking - and insisting upon - their place in the global village. They are The Survivors. The book collects the best pictures from the current "laif" reportage archives. This Cologne agency and its partners worldwide count among the leaders on the subject of photojournalism
