I read it when I was in my late teens.
Indaba means ‘gather round’. This book demonstrates the richness in the tapestry of the lives and traditions of black people in Africa. At school in South Africa, our history was defined on a very Euro-centric basis. Black people were simply the other who were essentially a contrast to what we were doing. We never got to appreciate the depths of the history, their religion, their philosophy, their life stories, the mythology that informed how their societies developed.
When I came across this book as a teenager it really opened my eyes to the fact here was a society and history which was as relevant and authentic to the development of humankind as any other.
