The Drumbeats of Afdie is the story of Omadi, a Gambian immigrant who came to the United States. It describes the life of Omadi both in the United States and in his native country, The Gambia. In the book the reader is exposed to Gambian tradition and culture. The narration about gods and oracles offers a wider appreciation of this African phenomenon.
