A Collection of Stories and Its Preservation in the Digital Age
There is never an end to stories. “The art of composing oral narratives,” said Nongenile Masithathu Zenani, a Xhosa storyteller, is something that was undertaken by the first people, long ago, during the time of the ancestors. When those of us in my generation awakened to earliest consciousness, we were born into a tradition that was already flourishing. Narratives were being performed by adults in a tradition that had been established long befor…
A Dictionary of African Mythology
This collection of fascinating, mysterious, and revealing tales captures the immense sweep and diversity of African mythology. The stories touch on virtually every aspect of belief: gods and goddesses, epic heroes and divine tricksters, along with epics of the world's origins, the struggle between the human and the divine, and much more. Entries cover the entire continent, from the mouth of the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope.Here, for example, is …
The Tongue Is Fire
This work presents the voices of the South African oral tradition - the historians, the poets, the epic-performers, the myth-makers - documenting their enduring faith in the power of the word to sustain tradition in the face of determined efforts to distort or eliminate it

Oral Poetry and History
ASOUTH AFRICAN poet recalls how in the early nineteenth century the Xhosa king Hintsa (c. 1790-1835) regularly appeared before his people to conduct the affairs of the nation. A bard approached the court one day, and, with a familiar image from the oral tradition, moved at once to transform the moiling crowd into a responding audience: late-riser has seen nothing, / He will never see the python uncoil! The lines were ambiguous, but it was quickly…
A Review of African Oral Traditions and Literature
There is an unbroken continuity in African verbal art forms, from interacting oral genres to such literary productions as the novel and poetry. The strength of the oral tradition seems not to have abated; through three literary periods, a reciprocal linkage has worked these media into a unique art form against which potent influences from East and West have proved unequal. Vital to African literature is the relationship between the oral and writt…

Oral Narrative Process and the Use of Models
MAGE, THE BASIC MATERIAL of oral narrative art forms, mediates between audience and reality. It is so constructed and manipulated in performance that it shapes the audience's perception of the real. Image is composed of words that are given a unique framework by means of rhythm, for example, and intonation and gesture, by body movement which tends to dance, verbal drama which tends to song. Image is a visualized action or set of actions evoked in…
Fixed and Nonfixed Symbols in Xhosa and Zulu Oral Narrative Traditions
AMONG XHOSA AND ZULU PERFORMERS Of oral imaginative narratives, there are no professionals. Everyone is a potential creator of the vivid images, and most do at some time attempt to objectify them, usually before an audience that is composed of family members and intimate friends. These narrative images, taken as a group, form the educational system of these oral societies, and in such communities the artist is the intellectual, the teacher. The X…
« When A Man Fails Alone »
There Is A Temptation, upon reaching the final pages of Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe’s tale of a man and his chi, to accept Obierika’s assessment of the hero’s unhappy fate. That this temptation should be avoided is evident in a study of that central character. Okonkwo does not lend himself to facile analysis. Of the various approaches to his character and fate, the first and most obvious is also the least acceptable when considered within th…
Interviews at New Brighton
Just outside the city of Port Elizabeth in South Africa is the township of New Brighton, where 102,000 Africans who work in such industries as the Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation live. On July 14, 1967, I spoke in New Brighton with two prominent Xhosa poets – the Rev. James J. R. Jolobe, a Presbyterian minister, and Mr. Soya Mama, a journalist. The interviews, conducted in English, took place separately. Similar questions were a…
