Original titleOur Grandmothers' Drums: A Portrait of Rural African Life & Culture
Mark Hudson originally traveled to Africa, to the village of Dulaba in Gambia, to study objectively the lives of the local women. But as the young Englishman worked in the fields with them, he gradually ceased to be an observer, becoming instead a participant in the dramas and rituals--personal, political, supernatural, and sexual--of village life.
