Bela-Wenda : voices from the heart of Africa [WorldCat Entities]

""Bela-Wenda is a playful and musical journey into the human condition in the age of globalization. Set in a small, nameless Congolese village. Bela-Wendais narrated by a diverse cast of characters, including an aged grandmother, Bela-Wenda, the keeper of the village's traditions; the son of a chief; citizens oppressed by corruption and greed in a dictatorial regime; and young immigrants whose dreams of a western paradise have turned into the nightmare of cultural shock, homelessness and exploitative working conditions." -- from back cover."
