A celebration of modern life in Soweto, these stunning and stirring photographs show the importance of this township within the collective consciousness of South Africa. Going beyond Soweto's historic struggles with apartheid, these images instead reveal the traditional importance of art, dance, and fashion in the community's daily life--and to showcase a new cosmopolitan energy as the people reinvent themselves and their urban space.
