African Genesis

First published by Faber and Faber in London in 2938, and offered now to an American audience in a paperback edition for the very first time, African Genesis remains an absolute masterpiece of twentieth century folklore, mythology and folk religion. It just may be the most important introduction into the cultural imagination of tribal Africa ever compiled. A wholly disarming collection of twenty-nine folktales ranging from the sparse, magical tales from the normadic and/ or hunting cultural possibility and concern inherent and still potential at the dawn of humankind.
