Congratulations Baba. I have a great admiration for our generation Gambians. Our brothers and sisters are doing great things around the globe not getting the credit they deserve. Looking forward to ready this masterpiece. You are very thorough and thoughtful in your correspondence. May Allah (SWT) continue to guide you protect you and bestow more blessing and wisdom upon you.

And thanks for forwarding to the Gambia-L. This book is a revised and updated version of Dying for My Daughter, which I published back in 2004. With the benefit of several years of graduate study and its attendant maturity, The Graveyard Cannot Pray is a more nuanced retelling of Dying for My Daughter and includes analyses of aspects of Fulani culture that were not in the first edition.

Please find the flyer for the book attached. Please do circulate to your contacts and visit the Global Hands website for more information http://global-hands.co.uk/publishing/ The Graveyard Cannot Pray One man's battle to save his daughter from female circumcision This book is an autobiographical account of one man’s struggle to save his daughter from FGM; a struggle that defies a harmful traditional practice and defective constructions of normality. Perhaps the first to articulate the battle against Female Genital Mutilation from an African male perspective, The Graveyard Cannot Pray throws into sharp relief four interconnected phenomena: the conflict between an older and younger generation of Africans; the communal nature of conflict and conflict resolution among the Futa Fulani; the Fulani notion of son-hood, and the potential complications that arise when the sanctity of tradition is stood in opposition to the sanctity of faith. How does a concerned young father protect his innocent little daughter from the most revered tradition of his people, and against the will of his own father? Here, a family conflict becomes the subject of a communal conflict resolution mechanism that reveals aspects of the mind of the Fulani elder and the workings of Fulani community values that only a native Fulani may discern. Ultimately, The Graveyard Cannot Pray heralds the victory of reason over the human proclivity for blind cultural mimesis. With a preface by Dr. Isatou Touray, Executive Director of the Gambia Committee on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children (GAMCOTRAP).
