Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Was für ein unglaublich tolles Buch. Die Graphiken sind außergewöhnlich und umwerfend gut. Anhand von vielen verschiedenen Porträts und Geschichten von SurferInnen aus vielen verschiedenen afrikanischen Ländern, wird ein buntes Bild der afrikanischen (Surf)Kultur gezeichnet.
Es tut sehr gut, Afrika als einen Kontinent mit so viel mehr als Hungersnöte, (Bürger)kriege, Migration und Armut zu sehen. Denn es ist bei jedem Besuch einfach nur eine bunte, inspirierende, verrückte, warmherzige und unglaublich kreative Welt, in die man dank dem Buch auch zuhause ein bisschen eintauchen kann!
Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
