Book Description:

This extraordinary book is first to be published about a unique and colorful people- the Wodaabe of Nigeria, in sub-Sahara Africa.

Among the few surviving nomads in the world, these tall, slender, handsome desert dwellers live as they have centuries, moving their herds across a parched landscape.

The central events of their lives-and the focus of this book- are two great celebrations, culminating in a beautiful and stirring sequence of festive dances.•
