Despite the help the Malians need, and the problems they face, Holloway never saw life from their eyes.the writing suffers from that anthropological bias. that they are there to teach, rather than learn.
I felt this story shared a typical problem among peace corps workers in Mali. The genital mutilation chapter is well done and poignant no doubt the most disturbing but necessary story told in the book. Her love and admiration for Monique Dembele is honest and heart-felt, but this is definitely written from a WESTERN perspective, with 'poverty' overshadowing the power and beauty of the people. Unlike many other books on birthing traditions of other cultures, Holloway fails to offer anything positive or beautiful about native Malian traditions. I expected more information on birthing practices of the Malian people, and less anecdotal and 'fish-out-of-water' narrative.
