Inhalt:
"This book fills the void in the literature about the Sierra Leone Krio people by delineating the connective tissue between their history, language, culture, traditions, and contemporary poetry. While the Krios have often been characterized as fully anglicized, our work demonstrates how deeply rooted Krio is in West African behaviors, practices, communication, tradition, and creativity"--
