This book delivers an admirably comprehensive and rigorous analysis
of African oral literatures and performance. Gathering insights
from distinguished scholars in the field, the book provides a range
of contemporary interdisciplinary perspectives in the study of oral
literature and its transformations in everyday life, fiction,
poetry, popular culture, and postcolonial politics. Topics
discussed include folklore and folklife; oral performance and
masculinities; intermediated orality, modern transformations, and
globalisation; orality and mass media; spoken word and imaginative
writing. The book also addresses research methodologies and the
thematic and theoretical trajectories of scholars of African oral
literatures, looking back to the trailblazing legacies of Ruth
Finnegan, Harold Scheub, and Isidore Okpewho. Ambitious in scope
and incisive in its analysis, this book will be of interest to
students and scholars of African literatures and oral performance
as well as to general readers interested in the dynamics of
cultural production.
