| Opplysninger | "Goude's book, Jungle Fever, has been described as an autobiographical exploration of his career.[13] Published in 1983, Jungle Fever includes many of Goude's photographs and manipulations of black women, as well as insights to his personal life with his muses, and his beliefs about the black female form.[13] The book does not feature any of Goude's commercial imagery, displaying only his artistic representations of ethnic minorities, with an emphasis on black people. The book is separated into several chapters, each titled with the name of the models used in his photographs.[5] Goude was known for creating exaggerated and manipulated forms using collage and post-production tactics and the book shows the progression of several works from sketch to finished work.[13] Examples of these techniques can be found within the book in images such as "Carolina Beaumont" and "Island Life". In "Island Life," a photo which he created for cover for Grace Jones's album of the same name, Goude photographed her in several different positions, then overlaid the images to elongate the neck, and legs, and to display her torso completely turned forward. He would then paint in the gaps between body parts to make the image appear natural.[5] The position is wholly unnatural, and aside from highlighting features that are stereotypically fetishized in black women, the image also implies that no woman other than Jones could assume such a position.[14] Such an effect is achieved by painting over the printed images during the post-production phase of Goude's process.[5] This effect can be seen several times in the Grace Jones chapter of the book, first in comparing the final Island Life cover to the photo in the process of being edited, and secondly in "Blue-black in black on brown," in which her skin is painted a dark, blue-black tone."
