Well this is interesting - a word on stereotypes in book cover photos: The texts of the books were as diverse as the geography they covered: Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique. They were written in wildly divergent styles, by writers that included several Nobel Prize winners. Yet all of books covers featured an acacia tree, an orange sunset over the veld, or both. In short, the post said, the covers of most novels about Africa seem to have been designed by someone whose principal idea of the continent comes from The Lion King. Do we fall into visual traps when taking our photos? Worth thinking about.
