Gule Wamkulu - the Big Dance
Despre această carte electronică
--An American expatriate remembers her home, garden and hope-filled Zambians in Zambia when, taking up Zimbabwes battle, bombs fall, murders happen, food shortages bring starvation. Her bipolar American anthropologist husband goes near berserk.
Bombs kill the innocent, vicious murders go unexplained; starvation and death threaten when food, medical supplies--equipment and vital machinery are disallowed entry into Zambias land-locked land.
Gifted and bipolar, the anthropologist, searching every specter of political innuendo, ends in his undoing. The writer, deeply interested in the land and its people, experiences Zambian kindness, warmth, procrastination, suspicion, and joy.
This singular, independent, intrigue with Zambia as well as the dynamics of their love, provide memoirs landscape.
The young American University librarian, responsible for the couples residency in Zambia, yields wrenching complications.
The marriage suffers collapse.
AIDS creeps into the landscape.
