OUR GRANDMOTHER'S DRUMS Mark Hudson

The author visits Dulaba village in Gambia, West Africa, where the women are bound by Islam, female circumcision and subservience to their mothers and men.

This is a used travel book in good, aging condition: cover shows some reading wear around the edges, light creasing and wear to corners; age spots on end pages and edges of text block. Aging but a solid, cheap reading copy. See photos for cover blurb and sample page(s). The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: In 1985 Hudson visited the village of Dulaba in the Gambia to help in some field studies there. He was so intrigued by what he saw that he decided to return. The book tells of the lives of the women, devout Muslims, who are circumcised in an all-female ritual, but who sing ribald songs.
