White masai epub download torrent

Keterbatasan bahasa, keterasingan budaya dan perbedaan pendidikan dihadapinya dengan tegar. Ia bahkan rela menghuni Manyatta, sebuah gubuk kecil tempat Lketinga dan suku Masai bertempat tinggal di belantara semak. Entah kekuatan apa yang merasukinya hingga ia mampu meninggalkan kekasih Eropa-nya, usahanya di Swiss yang tengah menanjak bahkan seluruh propertinya dilelang, keluarga dan teman-temannya yang sejenis, sebangsa dan setanah air.

Ia sendiri tidak tahu jawabannya, bahkan untuk dirinya sendiri. Ia tidak tahu keajaiban misterius apa yang ada pada lelaki Masai itu hingga mampu menjungkirbalikan tatanan hidupnya juga cara berpikirnya, seluruh dunianya seolah terpusat pada sosok tinggi hitam itu. Bukan hanya jomplangnya peradaban yang harus dihadapi Corrine untuk merengkuh kebahagiaan cinta. Ia juga berhadapan dengan sistem birokrasi Kenya yang berbelit.

Berulangkali masalah ini menjadi kendala yang hanya bisa diatasi dengan suapan, khas negara miskin dan berkembang, seperti di Indonesia barangkali. Bukan karena peraturannya yang rumit tetapi aparatnya yang sengaja mencari uang dengan menjual kebingungan masyarakat, apalagi Corrine berkulit putih yang identik tajir. Berkat kegigihannya, Corrine akhirnya berhasil bersanding dengan pria idamannya. Namun lagi-lagi perbedaan kultur membuatnya shock. Betapa tidak, mimpi untuk selalu bersama dengan Lketinga termasuk dalam hal makan layaknya dalam sebuah rumah tangga sirna.

Hal ini disebabkan dalam tradisi Masai, istri tinggal bersama anak-anak, sementara suami berkumpul dengan pria lain yang berstatus sama, prajurit, setidaknya dengan salah satu yang harus menemaninya makan. Tidak ada prajurit Masai yang makan apa pun yang telah disentuh atau bahkan dipandangi perempuan.

In an exquisite personal pilgrimage, Corinne Hofmann, author of the global bestseller The White Masai, delves into the slums of Nairobi to uncover the heart-warming and heart-breaking stories of unforgettable people and places. Joined by her half-Kenyan daughter, Napirai, and traveling Kenya together for the first time, they discover Napirai's roots and finally meet her father and half-siblings.

Hofmann then treks miles across the Namibian desert to discover the lives of the nomadic Himba people. Ethno-erotic Economies explores a fascinating case of tourism focused on sex and culture in coastal Kenya, where young men deploy stereotypes of African warriors to help them establish transactional sexual relationships with European women. In bars and on beaches, young men deliberately cultivate their images as sexually potent African men to attract women, sometimes for a night, in other cases for long-term relationships.

George Paul Meiu uses his deep familiarity with the communities these men come from to explore the long-term effects of markets of ethnic culture and sexuality on a wide range of aspects of life in rural Kenya, including kinship, ritual, gender, intimate affection, and conceptions of aging. What happens to these communities when young men return with such surprising wealth? And how do they use it to improve their social standing locally?

By answering these questions, Ethno-erotic Economies offers a complex look at how intimacy and ethnicity come together to shape the pathways of global and local trade in the postcolonial world. White Spaces lists and places in their historical contexts over texts written by Whites in and about colonial Kenya.
