"Der handliche Bildband ist Augenfutter, das staunen lässt. Die Fotografin Deidi von Schaewen bereiste Westafrika und hielt in wunderbaren Bildern die Vielfalt der traditionellen Architektur fest … Das in der ICONS Reihe erschienene Buch African Style entführt auf eine Entdeckungsreise in eine fremde Welt. Mit seinen exzellenten Fotografien bietet es eine Mixtur zwischen Architekturdokumentation und Völkerkunde. African Style ist ein faszinierendes Bilderbuch, dem es gelingt, abseits gängiger Klischees, den kulturellen Reichtum und das kreative Potential Afrikas eindrucksvoll vor Augen führen."
