Dinka
This seminal volume on the indigenous African Dinka group is a landmark documentation of a vanishing people in war-torn Sudan. World-renowned photographers Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly disappearing ceremonies and cultures of the indigenous people of Africa. In breathtakingly poignant images, they present a story that started with their first visit to the Dinka thirty years ago. Living in harmony with their cattle, the Dinka have survived years of war only to find their culture on the brink of vanishing forever. Where the White Nile River reaches Dinka country, it spills over 11,000 square miles of flood plain to form the Sudd, the largest swamp in the world. In the dry season, it provides abundant pasture for cattle, and this is where the Dinka set up their camps. The men dust their bodies and faces with gray ash--protection against flies and lethal malarial mosquitoes, but also considered a mark of beauty. Covered with this ash and up to 7' 6- tall, the Dinka were referred to as -gentle- or -ghostly- giants by the early explorers. The Dinka call themselves -jieng- and -mony-jang, - which means -men of men.-

This book is written in the Dinka language for the Dinka people and for all who might be wanting to learn more. The Dinka language is deeply rooted in the tradition of the African people in that it was passed on orally from generations to generations. It is, therefore, fair to say that the Dinka Language is now the goldfıeld where our ancestors have deposited their wisdom, norms, and traditions. The phrase "Comku Thoŋ de Jiëëŋ" is loosely translated in English as "Planting the Dinka Language." By using the word "planting," we are depicting the Dinka language as a seed in storage awaiting to be planted in a fertile soil. The soil is our community which we must encourage to read and write Dinka fluently.
