Many myths surround the Hyena Men who haunt the peripheries of Nigeria's cities. Accompanied by hyenas, rock pythons and baboons, these men earn a living by performing before crowds and selling traditional medicines. Pieter Hugo's extraordinary portraits of their liminal existence reveal an uncanny world of complex, codependent relationships, where familiar distinctions between dominance and submission, wildness and domesticity, tradition and modernity are constantly subverted.

This book is the first edition first printing, it is in very good condition with some signs of wear in the upper edge of the dusk jacket. Photo pages inside are in perfect condition as new. VERY RARE COLLECTIBLE BOOK!!
