Buharry,

 Many thanks for a well-written, delightful and important presentation. The
 theme reminds me of similar ones we debated and discussed on Gambia-l in 
the
 late nineties. Discourses on Gambian identity seems to have died under the
 overbearing weight of political discourse, perhaps a reflection of the need
 to seek first the political kingdom before promoting the cultural empire?

 You have raised many interesting issues and these need to be looked into.
 But in the meant time, I would like to welcome our Cultural Ambassador,
 Monsieur Oko Drammeh, who I noticed has just rejoined Gambia-L. Perhaps he
 needs a first look at this important piece of yours.
 Cheers to everyone in GassamaKunda,

 sidibeh
