## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An evocative look at an African village as part of the world ecrnomic system.
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016*

This is a terrific book on all levels.  Wright has an interesting take on world systems as seen through the lens of a small community in The Gambia - a community called Niumi. But, much more than an academic book, Wright is an excellent writer who has written an evocative story of the village through time to the twentyfirst century. As told by Wright, the story of this village and its people grabs you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Demonstrating a great deal of historical inquiry
  

*by N***U on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015*

Utilizing The Gambia as a case study, Wright illustrates a complicated and fascinating history of Africa through a very small region. Demonstrating a great deal of historical inquiry, more books are necessary to illuminate the importance of African studies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    So much information
  

*by R***9 on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013*

I bought this for an African history and it served as textbook. It's pretty compact considering the amount of specific information they give you regarding Niumi. If you want to learn about life in West Africa, the social structures, and the impact of trade and the environment then this is a good place to start.
