Before They Vanish: Untold stories from Africa's Most Fabled Cities
Explorer and award-winning author, James Michael Dorsey returns to the library for more journeys through the world’s most ancient places. In this travelogue series, James will share stories from Africa's most fabled cities.
Mali is a country made of mud, and its oldest cities can be traced back more than 2000 years. Together, we will explore Djenne, Timbuktu, and Araouane, through personal stories that have not been told before. Walk their streets of sand, listen to their myths and legends, and immerse yourself in cultures unchanged in two millenniums.
Copies of his books, including his recently published title, The Lagoon: Encounters with the Whales of San Ignacio will be available for purchase.
