Synopsis
This title talks about the beautiful game...through the eyes of a continent. It offers a unique vision of Africa's love affair with football as documented by celebrated Nigerian photographer and filmmaker Andrew Dosunmu. Punctuated with essays by journalist, Knox Robinson, "The African Game" looks to soccer as a way to explore modern African life, culture and identity. Highlighting PUMA's relationship with football in Africa, as the official supplier of apparel and equipment to the African football teams, the book follows a narrative of the sport through Cameroon, Senegal, Togo, Cote d'Ivoire, Angola, Ghana, Tunisia and Egypt. The book mixes classic portraiture and gripping reportage-style photography to frame Africa, its sporting heritage, and it's everyday vibrancy in a way that is rarely seen. It is an essential companion to the 2006 World Cup.
