A TOUBAB IN THE GAMBIA by NICK HAMLYN
In July 2001, my wife and I were privileged to be able to accompany a party of teachers and sixth form students on a week long field study of the Gambia. The country made a profound impression on us and we have since visited the country on several more occasions. As European visitors, we were 'toubabs' to the Gambians and we were reminded of this by the children who would call out the name whenever they saw us. The experiences of the visits inspired this collection of poems (and a little prose) and they are illustrated with a large number of photographs.
