Synopsis

In Africa Dances Gorer takes the reader on an odyssey across West Africa. He has unique access, travelling as the friend of Féral Benga, one of the great black dance stars of 1930's Paris. It is a devastating critique of colonial rule, which is shown to be destroying African society while Christian missionaries undermine indigenous morality. Africa Dances captures the rich physical and psychological detail of African village life – from food and architecture to dance and magic. Gorer witnesses witch doctors conjuring thunderstorms out of clear blue skies and chameleon fetishists whose skin changes from a dirty white to almost black. This is a place where if you believe, you can.

    Ucchista Ganapati is the 8th form among the 32 forms of Lord Ganesha, revered in Hinduism as the embodiment of abundance, power, and divine grace. The name "Ucchista" refers to remnants or leftover offerings, symbolizing purification and spiritual transformation. This form is often depicted in a unique posture, seated with a consort on his lap, signifying the unity of divine masculine and feminine energies.
