Travelling alone through time, Africa, and unnamed lands, a traveller searches for Dr. David Livingstone, the ¿discoverer¿ of Africa. Throughout her quest for knowledge and for Livingstone, she visits many peoples, listens to their stories and their silences, and learns about their Silence. Suspense, parables, and dreams play major parts as the story twists and turns toward the traveller¿s confrontation with Livingstone-I presume.Looking for Livingstone explodes Western assumptions about the ¿silence¿ of Indigenous peoples as it beautifully gives voice to the Ancestors to whom it is dedicated.
