Abstract:In his introduction the editor observes that most students in African schools today are familiar with the biblical creation myths, but that few know the myths of their own peoples. Therefore he collected 18 myths centering on the creation and death of man, which are published here. (Rev.: Africa Report, 1967, 9, p. 45).
