Zeguedeguin: Life in a West African Village
A series of episodes about life in the village of Zeguedeguin, Burkina Faso, in the 1970s, and digging wells in the surrounding villages. I lived with a subsistence farming family and participated in the life of the village--planting and harvesting, attending mask performances, funeral, and market celebrations, visiting friends, and so on. The series gives an intimate record of day-to-day life and the ceremonial calendar along with the work of organizing well-digging projects in small villages in the "bush" for water. There are sidelights on the national capital, Ouagadougou, labor migration between Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Upper Volta, the history of the Mossi people, the intra-African, trans-Saharan, and trans-Atlantic, slave trades, and their afterlives in the life of the village. The series also treats how, in the two years I lived there, I was gradually integrated into the village culture in a unique role as I came to love the life and the people with whom I lived and worked. And came back to an America that I no longer felt I quite fit into..Join Podchaser to...
