Our Grandmothers' Drums: A Portrait of Rural African Life & Culture
Hudson, a young Englishman, spent 14 months in a village in Gambia. He originally intended only to observe the community, but as time passed, he became an active participant in the rituals of a people who inhabit termite-infested huts, live near dangerous bush and are entirely reliant on an annual rainy season for survival. PW called this a "perceptive first book."Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
