The Hyena & Other Men (Third Printing, Signed) is a collection of works by South African photographer Peter Hugo. When it comes to South African photographers, there are Ernest Cole, known for House of Bondage, Sam Haskins for Cowboy Kate & Other Stories, David Goldblatt, who has continued to confront apartheid and has left behind many masterpieces such as In Boksburg, and Henrik Purienne, known for Resort Luxury in recent years, but if you are a journalist or documentary, it is definitely Peter Hugo. This book is a collection of works on people called "hyena handlers" who are active around Nigeria. They live with wild animals such as hyenas, pythons, and baboons, and make a living by performing on the streets and selling traditional medicines. Their appearance depicts the diversity of Africa, where opposing facts such as wild and human, tradition and modern, domination and subordination intersect, and the multifaceted nature of modern times. Furthermore, the book also conveys a strong message about the coexistence of humans, animals, and nature. 3rd printing. Signed by the photographer .
