Her 2009/2010 book of photography "As Terras do Fim do Mundo" (Portuguese for "The Lands of the End of the World"), also known as "The Aftermath of Conflict" or "The Ghosts of Angola's Civil War," is a collection of black and white film photographs that capture the lingering end of Angola's Civil War. It includes fifty-five photographs, sometimes sixty when printed with earlier works such as "Terreno Occupado," which traced the routes of the Border War fought by South Africa in Angola through the 1970s and 80s. Following "Terreno Ocupado", which focused on Luanda five years after the country's civil war ended, "As Terras do Fim do Mundo" "shifts attention away from the urban manifestation of aftermath to the space of war itself. Ractliffe's black and white photographs explore the idea of landscape as pathology, how past violence manifests in the landscape of the present."
