Discuss the various levels of conflict in the novel using illustrations from Blossoms of the Savannah for illustrations
            Cultural conflict – Maa culture is well defined. The culture has advocated for FGM. The society valued FGM and those that had not undergone the right were referred to Intoye Nemengalana, a derogatory term. They were in conflict with the society. Emakererei a known crusader against girl circumcision was forcefully ejected from Ole Supeiyos homestead threatening to clobber her. She was referred to as a wasp, a great threat to Maa culture (p22). Female circumcision he said was not only an honored rite of passage that had been in existence from time immemorial but an important practice that tamed an otherwise wild gender.
