Lobagola An Africa Savage s Own Story

Lobagola: An Africa Savage's Own Story is a memoir written by Lobagola, also known as Bata Kindai Amgoza Ibn LoBagola. The book is a first-person account of Lobagola's life, from his childhood in East Africa to his travels around the world as a self-proclaimed ""savage."" Lobagola was born in the early 20th century in what is now Tanzania. He grew up in a traditional African village, but was sent to a mission school as a young boy. There, he learned English and was introduced to Western culture. However, Lobagola rejected the idea of assimilating to Western ways and instead embraced his African heritage. As a young man, Lobagola traveled extensively throughout Africa, often living with different tribes and learning about their customs and beliefs. He also spent time in Europe and the United States, where he gained notoriety as a ""savage"" performer, showcasing his African dances and rituals to Western audiences. Throughout the book, Lobagola reflects on his experiences and shares his unique perspective on race, culture, and identity. He challenges Western notions of civilization and argues that African traditions and beliefs are just as valid as those of the West.
