Griots at War: Conflict, Conciliation, and Caste in Mande Book

" . . . a compelling study of how social identities and relationships are constructed and reconstructed through action, specifically through speech." --Robert Launay For four days in 1985, thousands of griots from all parts of the Mande world gathered to talk, sing, and make music in celebration of the opening of the new Hall of Griots and the installation of the recently named Head Griot. This unprecedented assembly also marked the end of a deadly two-year conflict fought with griot weapons--words, reputations, and sorcery. This exceptional book offers surprising and important insights into the multiple meanings of Mande culture, caste, and identity.Read More
