About this item

'We Are Congo' is a beautiful coffee-table book showing a collection of photographs and portraits of Congo taken by iconic British photographer, Rankin. The photographs were all inspired by, and taken during, recent Oxfam trips by Rankin to the country. Give this beautiful book to your loved one for a birthday or special occasion - your gesture of love goes on into the Congo with every penny raised by its sale. Rankin says: 'I've had the privilege of visiting Congo with Oxfam twice in recent years. I've met some incredible people - people whose resilience and positivity in the face of insurmountable problems, I can only wonder at and admire. This book compiles the images from both of my trips, and the stories of the people who I met and photographed out there. Its a testament to the vibrancy and passion of a people who are too often regarded as victims, rather than human beings; the same as you and I. By buying this book, you will be making an enormous difference to their lives.' Dimensions: 250 x 320mm. Weight: 1.3kg. 208 pages.

How does this gift help?
Every penny raised by the sale of this book (£20) goes to Oxfam’s Congo appeal.

The conflict in Eastern Congo is one of the worst in the world; over 5 million people have died, two million are displaced, and violence and rape are a daily threat. Despite the horror, people help each other get through these difficult times and this has been captured in Rankin’s photographic book 'We are Congo' .
