Saying Good-bye: A Special Farewell to Mama Nkwelle

(2) K-3 Ikenna, the young narrator of this photo-essay about a Nigerian funeral, describes the ceremony as a "special good-bye" to his great-grandmother. The funeral goes on for several days and includes familiar elements as well as customs specifically from sub-Saharan Africa. The clear, colorful photos do double duty documenting the sequence of events and serving as a visual reference of Nigerian life. This is a valuable cross-cultural resource.
