Botswana

Meer over het boek

The book highlights Botswana's remarkable transformation from one of the world's poorest nations to a middle-income country between 1965 and 2016. It focuses on the profound societal changes, documenting the decline of traditional practices and objects, such as coal-fired locomotives and ox-drawn wagons, while showcasing the evolution of daily life, clothing, and housing. The emphasis on people in the selected photographs sets this work apart, deliberately excluding the typical wildlife and natural beauty images to capture the human experience amid rapid modernization.
