5.0 out of 5 stars
An animated cultural-social portraiture,
By Dr. Jean Robert Sohoka (Dakar, Senegal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Culture and Customs of Senegal (Culture and Customs of Africa) (Hardcover)
Senegal camouflaged face is unmasked.
Senegal comes to life in this book. The depiction of the day by day life, social sceneries, traditions and mode de vie is refreshing. Senegal is a forgotten or ignored destination for those who solely search for Tia Maria and the glitters of Acapulco. Yet, Senegal natural beauty, silver beaches and forests are wonders on earth. The book is written by a concerned and well-informed writer. He painted us vivid tableaus of Senegalese arts, literature and music. However, he could not free himself from the stigma of colonialism. This should not diminish the quality of his book.
