Creativity/anthropology
I find this book of the griot storytelling style fascinating. It is set in 12th century Mali. What you learn in this saga is how important the carriers of history are considered in these pre-literate societies. The knowledge of the towns, the history of the families, feuds and births and deaths. Living history. It is pleasant reading, yet historical. I learned that baraka means gifted one in the Mandingo language. It references Hannibal -I am disturbed by the treatment of women and their jealousy towards one another as they vie of the attention of the king.This of course goes on in any society where there is polygamy.
