Living Africa: A Village Experience

Portrays the daily experiences and concerns of the people of Wassetake, a small village on the Senegal River in West Africa, emphasizing changes taking place within and outside the community. For thousands of years villages like Wassetake have responded to and participated in new ways of living in order to cope with natural, economic, religious, and political changes; and scenes of contemporary life reveal the persistence of these themes.
