George Rodger | Magnum Photos The Nubas. Kordofan, Sudan. 1949.
“One must accept the new Africa and admire the rapid advancement of the African people. And yet, with the passing of tribal rule, something has gone from Afric
(...) a which no sovereign state or new-found national independence can replace. It is an ethereal thing, a mood or an atmosphere, born of superstition and pagan worship, something which once put the awe and mystery into the very word AFRICA. I travelled thousands of miles to see if somewhere, in some remote corner, there was not still a little of the old Africa that had been seen by men like Brazza and Livingstone. I found it at last in Kordofan.”
