"The Wonderful People of Eritrea" A Photography book by Anne Alders
Efrem Habtetsion, Jul 21, 2009
Eritrean Beauty
2Owing to circumstances, in the year 1997 I ended up in Eritrea.
Instantaneously the diversity of the population struck me. The way they live
their daily lives (in spite of sometimes difficult circumstances) in a most
harmonious way, showed me their unprecedented in-and-outward beauty. Being a
photographer I couldn't ignore this magnificence; I just had to capture it.
In the years gone-by it has grown into a tribute to these warm-hearted
people who have generously welcomed me into their everyday life." [For
detailed information refer Anne's book 'eritrean beauty,' published by the
Primamedia bv The Netherlands; first published in April 2005]

Eritrean Beauty is a magnificent and colourful book of photos from the Dutch
photographer Anne Alders. With her exquisite portraits and intriguing
pictures of the everyday life, she has captured the charm and spirit of the
nine sections [ethnic groups] of the Eritrean population in a superb and
sensitive way. Over a consecutive period of seven years, Anne Alders
travelled across Eritrea on a regular basis. Ever since her first visit, she
has been fascinated by its wonderful people. In her photographic record she
wants to give a feel of the lives of these people, still largely unknown to
the wider world. Owing to the contribution of Professor Jon Abbink this
amazing book of photos has obtained an anthropological and cultural value
and significance. This book is dedicated to the people of Eritrea.
