In Africa Dances Gorer takes the reader on an odyssey across West
Africa, in the company of Feral Benga, one of the great black
ballet stars of 1930s Paris. It is a devastating critique of
colonial rule, which is shown to be destroying African society just
as effectively as Christian missionaries undermine indigenous
morality. Africa Dances captures the rich physical and
psychological detail of African village life from food and
architecture to dance and magic. Gorer witnesses men diving for
three-quarters of an hour without coming up for breath,
witch-doctors conjuring thunderstorms out of clear blue skies, and
chameleon fetishists whose skin changes from a dirty white to
almost black. This is a place where if you believe, you can.
A brilliant collection of writings on the subject of the honeymoon.
Offering context and commentary where necessary, the editors have
canvassed history, fact and fiction for the gamut of newlywed
experience, from the Brownings
