Items related to The Sky Is on Fire
Three years ago Magsie Hamilton Little gave up her home and travelled to the Hoggar mountains in central Saharan Africa to rethink her life. There, to everyone's surprise - not least her own - she found herself buying and adopting a sick camel called Fleabag. This is an account of her journey deep into nomadic culture as she sought to heal Fleabag with the help of her guide, Samir, and his father, Suleyman, a process that drew on ancient Tuareg plant medicines and involved a two-week trek onto the unsafe wilds of the desert and learning Tamahaq, a little known and undocumented dialect spoken by no more than twenty thousand people in the world. Their ultimate goal? The mysterious and holy marabout, and the promise of release left from past trauma. The Sky is on Fire offers a unique insight into the desert dwellers of southern Algeria. In a world where the international refugee crisis has unwittingly created forced global nomadism, it explores the very real tragedies caused by poverty and war, and asks key questions about the deep cultural rifts that divide East and West today.
