It can also be a significant agent of change capable of directing, provoking, preventing, overturning and recasting perceptions of social reality. This collection examines the way in which oral texts both reflect and affect contemporary social and political life in Africa. It addresses questions of power, gender, the dynamics of language use, the representation of social structures and the relation between culture and the state. The contributors are linguists, anthropologists, folklorists, ethnomusicologists and historians, who present fresh material and ideas to paint a lively picture of current real life situations."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Oral tradition $z Africa. 650 0 $a Folklore $z Africa. 650 0 $a Narrative poetry, African. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $z Africa. 650 0 $a Social structure $z Africa. 650 0 $a Marginality, Social $z Africa. 651 0 $a Africa $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Africa $x Social life and customs. 653 0 $a Politics and government. $a Politics and government. 653 0 $a Africa. $a Africa. 653 0 $a Africa. $a Africa. 653 0 $a Narrative poetry, African. 653 0 $a Africa. $a Africa. 653 0 $a Africa. $a Africa. 653 0 $a Africa. $a Africa. 700 1 $a Furniss, Graham. 700 1 $a Gunner, Elizabeth. 941 $a 1 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331012029.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10EAE9D6F70611E582760BA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
