Appropriated Landscapes [first edition]

Appropriated Landscapes explores the landscapes of Southern Africa through photography and video by artists including David Goldblatt, Santu Mofokeng, Jo Ractliffe, Penny Siopis and Guy Tillim. By examining the effects of war, migration, colonization, industrialization and ideology upon countries such as South Africa, Namibia, Angola and Mozambique, this book reveals the varied histories of these regions and their peoples. Landscapeshows itself to be ultimately a construct of the mind, composed as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock.
