The hurt, hardship, punishment, and mental anguish that African girls go through when their parents, aunties, and grandmothers circumcise them are described in this book. Sometimes they are taken to a very isolated area or to the forest, where they are kept for more than three weeks. The author tries to trace the civilised culture and tradition of Africa before the colonial era, during and after colonialism, and how African countries lived and were united before colonialism. He also elaborates on how women and children suffered and are abused during the period of war and after and how some women are maltreated in their matrimonial homes by their husbands, and the difficulties they encounter. The author's concerns are the unity and development of Africa, which is one of the wealthiest continents in resources, but the poorest in living and earning.
