In this volume, across eighteen lively chapters, Cécile Leguy, Professor of Linguistic Anthropology at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University (France), takes her readers to Mali, among the Bwa people, where she has conducted long-term fieldwork. Through a sequence of concise autobiographical anecdotes, told in simple and lucid prose, she recounts her experiences as a “naïve outsider” who, through the course of everyday interactions, encounters unfamiliar ways of thinking and speaking—oscillating between bewilderment and wonder. These successive revelations gradually lead her to become integrated into this new cultural world, for which she expresses a profound attachment. By way of such ordinary situations, the reader is invited to perceive what is truly exchanged in this society—between the lines of speech—thereby uncovering the rich complexity and subtlety of this verbal culture.

The Black Ink Colouring Bookook is the art-companion companion to the novel The Black Inked Pearl. It is also a colouring book with images for YOU to colour in using YOUR imagination. On some pages it builds on the traditional form of colouring - inside firm lines - on others it calls, more daringly, on the modern technology of blurred and rubbed colouring, And there is more - think COLOUR SECRETS: What are these colours that we see and try to copy? How are they made? How did they start and what (if anything) do they mean? Are colours perhaps only a trick of the light or of the way our eyes see, not really of any independent existence?
