adam_text | Culture
and Customs of Gambia
Abdoulaye
Saine
Despite being the smallest country within the African continent, Gambia
is home to more than
1.7
million people and is one of the most densely
populated countries in Africa. Defined by borders that reflect the route of
its namesake, the Gambia River, Gambia is a fascinating and ethnically
diverse nation.
This title in the Culture and Customs of Africa series examines the
traditions and customs of contemporary Gambia, a geographically tiny
nation in the vast landscape of Africa that is home to a large number
of various ethnic groups, each with its own distinctive way of life. It is
a country that has been largely unknown in Western culture, with the
exception of Alex Haley s book Roofs and subsequent TV series, which
highlights Gambia s historic significance in the slave trade.
This book illuminates Gambian religion and worldview; literature and
media; arts and architecture/housing; gender roles, marriage, and family:
social customs, traditional dress, cuisine, and lifestyle; and music and
dance. The author has successfully encapsulated both long-ago history
and contemporary Gambia to provide students with a complete look at
life in Gambia today. Information on past traditions and historic events
is discussed in the context of how they pertain to life today and their
influence on the constant evolution of Gambian life and culture.
