John Manning Reviews Voices From the Forest by Tony Dold and Michelle Cocks
Verdict: carrot
Voices from the forest: celebrating Nature and culture in Xhosaland.
Tony Dold & Michelle Cox have been intimate with Xhosa culture for most of their lives — they have grown up with and in it. Respectively a professional botanist and a professional sociologist, they are passionate about the link between cultures and the natural environment, a link that has been eroded almost to breaking point in modern societies. Voices from the forest is a celebration of the association between people and nature: the influence of plants, animals and landscapes on Xhosa language, stories, poetry, religious rituals, healing practices and the customs that define Xhosa culture.
