Orature and Yoruba Riddles takes readers into the hitherto
unexplored undercurrents of riddles in Africa. Because of its oral
and all too often ephemeral nature, riddles have escaped close
scrutiny from scholars. The strength of the Yoruba as the focus of
this study is impressive indeed: a major ethnic group in Africa,
with established connections with the black diaspora in North
America and the Caribean; a rich oral and written culture; a large
and diverse population; and an integrated rural-urban society. The
book is divided into six chapters for readers' convenience. When
read in sequence, the book provides a comprehensive, holistic sense
of Yoruba creativity where riddles are concerned. At the same time,
the book is conceived in a way that each chapter could be read
individually. Therefore, those readers seeking understanding of a
specific type of riddle may target a single chapter appearing most
relevant to her/his curiosity.
