This study examines how anger is expressed and controlled in traditional Gambian communities. Twenty participants were interviewed at Brufut Sanchaba Village. The findings show that 50% of the respondents express and control anger by quarrelling, uttering threatening words or by crying, 20% express and control anger by keeping quit and calm, 20% confront the one who triggered the anger so as to settled the conflict amicably, and only 10% really gets out of control by manifesting physical violence. Dialogue and conversations are cherished values in managing anger in traditional communities, often involving the active participation of relatives, village elders and leaders. The decline in traditional family structures and values in The Gambia is having some critical implications in many communities.
