Title: Abdulai Bendu on how to grow rice

Description: Abdulai describes how to grow rice. The monologue was recorded in one of the spare servant bedrooms on the first floor of Kortright House on the Fourah Bay College campus, Freetown, now fallen into disuse. Abdulai Bendu was talking to no one except me, a person who didn’t really understand what he was saying. He soldiered on for about five minutes, taking the listener through the clearing, the planting, the growing, and the harvesting phases, all the way through to the eating. The session (8 items) is based on a videotaped monologue in Bolom by Abdulai Bendu with some introductory remarks by Tucker Childs in English (mp4). There is a Bolom-English rendering (pdf) as well as an analyzed version (html) and an Elan version (eaf). The In addition there is a portrait photo of Bendu (slc0006-03) and two pictures of rice growing, one the upland variety (slc0006-01) and the other swamp rice (slc0006-02). This was originally mostly a practice video to teach Abdulai Bendu what it was like to be interviewed and what the mechanics are of setting up, recording, and processing a video.
