Title: Two Men Arrive in a Village.
Description: . 25 x 18.5 cm. [120] pp. Softcover with dustjacket. lllustrated in b/w. - Series: The Gould Collection 5 - Text in English and Japanese. - The fifth volume of 'The Gould Collection' contains a selection of photographs made by Jo Ractliffe between 1985 and 2019 that depict South Africa, from the Great Karoo and the northern provinces of Gauteng and Limpopo to Zimbabwe, and from the Western Cape up the coast to Namibia and Angola. The dialogue between Ractliffe's images and Zadie Smith's parable is simultaneously a forthright and subtle commentary on injustice and imbalances of power. Together they work to displace familiar narratives of violence and unsettle clichéd depictions of the African region in favour of a more nuanced interplay between the real and allegorical. - Lacking the banderole, otherwise a good copy
