Scope and Contents
In the late fifties, movie theaters flourished all over African cities and became favorite meeting places of these cities' youth. Hollywood westerns, in particular, had a tremendous impact on the way in which the urban youth subcultures of that time chose to express themselves. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17, 1970.
