DESCRIPTION:
Describing the dichotomy of being both revered and reviled, this memoir traces the story of a sangoma—a traditional healer—who is also a lesbian. Descriptions of traditional African healing practices and rituals are provided alongside the personalized account of one woman acting as a mirror to the daily hardships and indignities felt by members of the gay community in Africa.
This is one of the best books I have read in awhile Emily Ramser This is one of the best books I have read in awhile. It tackles a wide range of issues with beautiful writing. Read it, you won't regret it.. Lesbian sangoma's approach takes middle ground Nerine Dorman The first thing that is immediately apparent when reading Black Bull, Ancestors and Me, is Nkunzi's overwhelming confidence in herself and her place in the world. She is not afraid of breaking with her culture's established viewpoints and, in all that she does, she seeks to find the middle ground. This is expressed in her balancing the male and female aspects of her self, as well as drawing from established traditions with a vision of a dynamic future.In many ways Nkunzi was fortunate, because she was raised by a mother .
