| Abstract: | This book brings together eight essays in African folklore, each of them based on fieldwork and a sensitivity to the nuances of African oral tradition. Two essays deal with the story-telling tradition (among the Anyi-Bona of the Ivory Coast and the Kiganda of Uganda); two with the riddling tradition (among the Mossi of Upper Volta and the Akan of Ghana); two with the legend tradition (among the Wolof and among Muslims of the Sudan). The last two articles deal with music; one describes tende music among the Tuareg of the central and southern Sahara; the other is devoted to the Haikotu Song and Dance Club in the town of Wheta in south-eastern Ghana. |
