A Treasury of African Folklore: The Oral Literature, Traditions, Myths, Legends, Epics, Tales, Recollections, Wisdom, Sayings and Humor of Afr by Harold Courlander

hopef's review

informative slow-paced

3.0

While there seems to be have some effort to keep in mind the influence of European interpreters on the stories, there were also sections that gave me pause, such as the unironic presentation of the statements of Christian pastors (missionaries) on the longstanding monotheism of certain tribes.
