Nine Hills to Nambonkaha Two Years in the Heart of an African Village

The Village of Nambonkaha in The Ivory Coast is a Place where electricity hasn't yet arrived, where sorcerers still conjure magic, where the tok-tok sound of women pounding corn fills the morning air like a drumbeat. As a Peace Corps volunteer, Sarah Erdman finds that Nambonkaha is also a place where AIDS threatens and poverty is constant, where women suffer the indignities of patriarchal customs, and where children work like adults while still managing to dream. Lyrical and topical, Erdman's beautiful debut captures the astonishing spirit of an unforgettable community.Erdman, Sarah is the author of 'Nine Hills to Nambonkaha Two Years in the Heart of an African Village', published 2004 under ISBN 9780312423124 and ISBN 0312423128.
