Description
Content description from WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/dinka-bride/oclc/225652872):
Marial is a young Dinka tribesman who, thanks to a considerable number of cows and his own determination, was able to leave his tribal home on the plains of South Sudan to pursue an education in the West. After four years studying in England, Marial returned to his homeland to collect the bride who had been chosen for him in his absence. Examines the conflicts of culture and values that a young man raised in an 'undeveloped' society must face when he returns with a Western education.
