In Chapter Seven, Mama recalls when she was 10 years old, and an elderly man attempted to court a woman Resian’s age. The Maa women collectively beat the old man and walked him through the town to publicly shame him. Today, the Maa culture has changed such that this system of justice no longer exists.
