Mandinko: The Ethnography of a West African Holy Land by Matt Schaffer |
C.W. Gusewelle's second collection of essays, lets you experience the sights and sounds of Senegal. He writes of the images of Africa as she reveals her secrets. He presents through the limited window of immediate experience, an intimate sense of Africans and life in a small corner of that vast and wonderful and suffering part of the world.
Hope, illusion, helplessness, betrayal, affection. . . all the multitudes of human beings share them. But, in the end, they are experienced singly by individuals, one at a time, each in his own place and way. And in such small stories, each one standing for the many, may be the best chance of understanding Africa.
