Long before people could turn to books for instruction and amusement, they relied upon storytellers for answers to their questions about life. Africa boasts a particularly rich oral tradition, in which the griot — village historian — preserved and passed along cultural beliefs and experiences from one generation to the next. This collection of 30 timeless fables comes from the storytellers of Nigeria, whose memorable narratives tell of promises kept and broken, virtue rewarded, and treachery punished. Ajapa the Tortoise — a trickster, or animal with human qualities — makes frequent appearances among the colorful cast of talking animals. In "Tortoise Goes Wooing," he learns a valuable lesson in friendship and sharing. Ajapa's further adventures describe how, among other things, he became a chief, acquired all of the world's wisdom, saved the king, tricked the lion, and came to be bald. Recounted in simple but evocative language, these ancient tales continue to enchant readers and listeners of all ages.

The Children of the Iroko Gods by Dr. Kenneth Enyi Pdf
The Children of The Iroko Gods is a partial fictionalization of an African story, it is ridden with history, mystery and suspense, treachery and tragedy, and African culture and traditions all humorously conjured to appease the mind. It is an intriguing fictional narration of the intimacy between a people and their gods, the betrayal of that intimacy, the impending doom on the people as a consequence of that betrayal, and the peoples quest and stampede to avert those consequences. This is a fictional narrative of the intimacy between a people and their gods, yet the essential portions of it contain grains of history and humor, mystery and drama, treachery and tragedy, all baked, wrapped, and served to entice and to intrigue the minds of those who yawn for old time African stories. A nostalgia for the lovers of old time African stories, night time stories: stories told under the moonlights. This is a work of fiction with few anecdotes. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the products of the authors imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

Winner, Hubert Herring Book Award, Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies Candomblé, an African religious and healing tradition that spread to Brazil during the slave trade, relies heavily on the use of plants in its spiritual and medicinal practices. When its African adherents were forcibly transplanted to the New World, they faced the challenge not only of maintaining their culture and beliefs in the face of European domination but also of finding plants with similar properties to the ones they had used in Africa. This book traces the origin, diffusion, medicinal use, and meaning of Candomblé's healing pharmacopoeia—the sacred leaves. Robert Voeks examines such topics as the biogeography of Africa and Brazil, the transference—and transformation—of Candomblé as its adherents encountered both native South American belief systems and European Christianity, and the African system of medicinal plant classification that allowed Candomblé to survive and even thrive in the New World. This research casts new light on topics ranging from the creation of African American cultures to tropical rain forest healing floras.
