'From his travels through Mali and down the Niger in a dugout canoe, [the author] has created a personal documentary of the cultures of the region. The result is at once an ethnography of cultures in crisis and a poetic evocation of the environment and people he encountered. Gibbal portrays the river as the dominant, cohesive force among people in the face of social and environmental strife. . . [He] vividly recreates the Ghimbala rites, nocturnal ceremonies of spirit possession and séance which animate the water spirits, or genii, that inhabit the river. The genii, he finds, provide the strength of social identity in a world where famine and competing versions of Islam threaten to overpower traditional culture.' xiv+204 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book.
