Dancing Skeletons In the ethnography, Dancing Skeletons , by “Katherine Dettwyler, the author journeys to the villages of West African countries attempting to collect data and research the patterns of malnutrition and overall poor health of Malian children and adults as well.

Every time something went wrong she would gladly take away their privileges, and did not care how they felt. “... Well, today’s Friday and I thought I might just bring it up again, just to see if anybody else has picked up a little guts.
The Last time Liesel’s “courage’ gets the best of her is when she and Rudy feed bread to the Jews at the cost of being caught and punished. “He was giving people bread.” (440), this is how the book describes Rudy feeding the Jews. Although it was very brave, when they were caught, they were chased away and hit. “Keep running little girl, you don’t belong here!’ (441) is what the guard yelled to Liesel after he kicked her.

She sometimes expresses a desire to have power over her oppressors, for instance she wishes she could kill an overseer with her eyes as we are told Nunu has done. However, Shola never makes any attempts to gain such powers, she merely wishes for them. She seems almost content in her role as a slave, and Shango is her only link to the realization of the evils of slavery.
