Black Issues Book Review, March-April, 2004 by Clarence V. Reynolds
A down-to-earth material such as clay, or mud, so to speak, has been used to build some of the most simple yet elegant and notable architecture in Africa. These two books--illustrated by Moore's exquisite color images and Schutyser's picturesque black and white photographs--capture the various buildings from small houses to large mosques that have been constructed and maintained for centuries, but have been given little attention in the Western imagination.
