N. Ngwa's study of Exodus 2 (see \#1038), D. begins by recounting African regional wars during his high school and university years, then turns to Ngwa's essay as a "multilayered cultivation of a language that enables us to talk and think about the past, the present, and the future not only in the war-torn African state of Cameroon . . . as well as throughout the world," but where, however, there are "no motifs . . . of complete escape from Pharaoh" (p. 899). How might Africa reengage colonialism? D. points to the African traditions of hospitality and tricksterism. The midwives were such tricksters, as were Moses's mother and sister. D. casts Ngwa's reading as an example of the kind of trickstering that needs to take place today in Africa. See also \#\#1036, 1038, 1039. [Abstracted by: Paul L.
