Faith and memory along the Nile

Photographer Chester Higgins uses the Nile corridor—from Ethiopia to Egypt—as the frame for a visual exploration of faith across time. The book connects ancient practices with traces in contemporary worship, while foregrounding the agency of people of African descent and their influence on the foundations of Western religion. Its historical and spiritual scope makes the river more than a setting: it serves as the route through which the book considers how religious practices travel, endure, and shape collective imagination.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in photography addressing religion and history.
  • For those exploring African diasporic influence on Western religious traditions.
  • For readers drawn to visual accounts of the Nile region and the persistence of ancient practices.

Chester Higgins celebrates the agency of people of African descent and their influence on the foundation of Western religion.

This visual portrayal of faith reexamines our spiritual beginnings.
