  ‘How can it change a person to sit at a table and eat steak instead of rice? What harm does it do to me to spend my salary on my family instead of subsidising a lot of parasites? And if to respect my wife and let her live happily in the way she chooses means that I’ve been colonised, well then, I’ve been colonised, and I admit it. I want peace. That doesn’t mean I’m a traitor to myself.’

  Says Lamine, a character from Mariama Ba’s Scarlet Song
