4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for anthropology students/ if interested in Africa,
By A Customer
This review is from: African Voices, African Lives: Personal Narratives from a Swahili Village (Paperback)
This book is a very interesting read if you are interested in the culture of East Africa, are studying anthropology or are thinking of travelling in the region. Pat Caplan writes the book in easy to understand language making it accessible to all and the life history of her key subject, Mohammed, who lives on Mafia Island off the Tanzanian mainland is fascinating. Because she has studied and visited the island on several occassions she has developed a close relationship with him, and so s is able to really get to grips with life on the island. It was her changing relationship with him and other members of his family that most interested me and her book is definately one of the most interesting in depth writings on East Africa.
