The book explores the presence of Shadow in the African experience, depicted as a mysterious entity that moves through the forest at night, mingling with dancers and weaving through nature. Shadow symbolizes the spirits of the past and beliefs of the present, casting a spell over individuals and following them everywhere, even to war. Marcia Brown's collage illustrations, inspired by her travels in Africa, capture the haunting and enchanting atmosphere of a life intertwined with Shadow.
