Co-published with The Walther Collection, this book is the first to present a comprehensive selection of the work of South African photographer Jo Ractliffe. Looking back over the past 35 years, this volume brings together images from major photographic essays, as well as previously unpublished early works. Described by Okwui Enwezor as “one of the most accomplished and underrated photographers of her generation,” Jo Ractliffe began working in the early 1980s, and her photographs continue to reflect her preoccupation with the South African landscape and the way it represents the country’s collective imagination—particularly the violent legacies of apartheid. In 2007, she expanded her focus to the Angolan War and published three photo books on the consequences of that conflict and its manifestations in the South African landscape: *Terreno Ocupado* (2008), *As Terras do Fim do Mundo* (2010), and *The Borderlands* (2015).
