Title: Fascinating insights into African history and culture/gender
Review: I highly recommend this book. The author writes a compelling account of both the history and culture of her tribe, as well as of cultural tensions in leaving Africa for America. It made me rethink assumptions I had always made about what's best for women because the author presents what would normally seem very chauvinistic attitudes and customs in a light that is at once objective and also subjective, but subjective from a non-Western viewpoint. She also presents awe-inspiring pictures of several generations of women in her family who, though possibly idealized to some degree, obviously overcame huge adversities and exhibited amazing strength of body and mind.
Is the review positive or negative?
