None of this would be possible if not for the generous instruction of my teachers, who graciously took me into their homes over multiple visits to West Africa.
To Youssoupha Cissokho and Mamadou Cissokho of Saly, Senegal and also Moriba Kuyateh and the late Malamini Jobarteh of Brikama, Gambia, I am eternally thankful.
