The River Between
..... that rarity, an almost wordless love story that avoids pseudo-nobility while remaining proudly and distinctively African. - The Guardian Christian missionaries attempt to outlaw the female circumcision ritual and in the process create a terrible rift between the two Kikuyu communities on either side of the river. The people are torn between those who believe in Western/Christian education and the opportunities it will offer, and those who feel that only unquestioned loyalty to past traditions will save them. The growing conflict brings tragedy to a pair of young lovers who attempted to bridge the deepening chasm.
Song of Lawino
A lament sung by a woman whose husband has rejected village life and taken a new wife who speaks English, powders her face and is skinny like European women. It is a lament for the rejection of the deeply-rooted traditions of their ancestors and the superficial materialism of Western values. It is followed by the Song of Ocol, her husbands response. Its terse verse belies the frustration he feels at the outdated values of his society.
