About the book

Wax Prints of the Sahel features colour photographs that depict original commemorative cotton cloths. Messages written on the cloths serve a griot function that aims to entertain and to educate the reader-viewer. Each cloth illustrates how commemorative wax prints are a means of preserving African cultural history for future generations.
