«Our Grandmothers' Drums» is Mark Hudson's travelogue, published by Grove Press in paperback (321 pages, in English).
In this chronicle, Mark Hudson recounts his stay in Dulaba, a village in Gambia he arrives at intending to study the lives of Mandingo women. Gradually, the narrator stops being an outside observer and takes part in the community's tasks, rites, and conflicts: from the personal and political to the supernatural and sexual.
In 1990 it received the Somerset Maugham Award and the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award.
For readers of travel literature interested in the culture and traditions of West Africa.
