Aman's story was originally compiled by Virginia Lee Barnes, an anthropologist (Ph.D., University of Hawaii), and upon her death in 1989, the manuscript was completed by Janice Boddy, distinguished professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto, who added an introduction placing Aman's story in its proper historical and social context.
"Beautifully eloquent...gripping and illuminating. It's an
intimate, personal account...Even more compelling that the ups and
downs of Aman's life is what she manages to unveil about her
society, religion and culture."--Detroit Free Press
"Most impressive...A remarkable narrative, richly detailed. [Aman]
tells her tale in a voice that belongs not to the present, but to
her rebellious, resilient, courageous, ferociously determined
self."--Washington Post Book World
"A rare feat: a glimpse of traditional and modern Africa from a
female point of view."--Macleans
