Although historians today turn increasingly to oral tradition as a
source of data on the history of non-literate peoples, Paul Irwin
cautions them against uncritical use of such evidence. In an
attempt to determine how much historians can learn about the past
from oral traditions, he studies those of Liptako, now a part of
Upper Volta hut in the nineteenth century an emirate in one of West
Africa's great imperial systems. Originally published in 1981. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
