Description

Explore the complex world of West African oral traditions with Ewe Comic Heroes: Trickster Tales in Togo. Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Folklore series, this volume examines the trickster figure, a character found in many cultural traditions around the globe. These figures are defined by contradictions, acting as both clever and foolish, or benevolent and evil. Because they do not fit into simple categories, they provide a unique lens through which to view narrative history. Originally published in 1994, this study offers readers a chance to experience the energy of the dynamic oral narrative performances used by the Ewe people. It serves as a deep look into the dramatic storytelling that shapes their cultural identity. Whether you are interested in anthropology, sociology, or global folklore, this book provides a detailed look at the characters that drive these legendary tales.
