Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 4^-7. From the Heritage Library of African Peoples series, this volume introduces the Luo people, focusing on those in the Nyanza Province of Kenya. Situated on the shores of Lake Victoria, the area is regarded as the ancestral homeland of the Luo. Ayodo describes their language, history, social structure, traditions and culture, and discusses how their ways are changing as they adapt to life in modern Kenya. Photographs, many in color, illustrate the ways and the traditional dress of the Luo. Maps are included. Carolyn Phelan
