Negative Positive
Title: fantastic read
Review: This is my first written review, I have to say this is the best book I have read for a very long time, Malidoma is a wonderful writer, this book is so compelling I could not put it down. Malidoma's account of his own life and his experiences growing up in a Jesuit missionary make him vulnerable and transparent to the reader, I feel he shared with me his deepest secrets while educating me about colonialism. When he returns to his village without his si (double) he has to go through an initiation process to gain himself back and be integrated and accepted back into his tribe. His elders remind him he learns by remembering. If you are interested in the super natural, shamanism, and African wisdom this book will satiate you to no end. I had such a strong visual while reading this book I'm surprised it hasn't been made into a movie, hopefully eventually it will be a movie so more people can be inspired, touched and educated by Malidoma's life experiences.
Is the review positive or negative?
