Chapter One: Conflicts of Culture in The Prophet’s Camel Bell and This Side Jordan
Laura K. Davis
Examines how Laurence’s ambivalent position as a Canadian woman in Africa manifests in her memoir about Africa, The Prophet’s Camel Bell, and her only novel about Africa, This Side Jordan. It discusses how Laurence’s vision and voice in Africa were influenced by both Western colonial tropes of Africa, and Western Canadian feminist history.
