Description

Explore the rich history of African storytelling with Oral Forms of Nigerian Autobiography and Life Stories. Part of the Routledge African Diaspora Literary and Cultural Studies series, this book examines the oral life stories and poems that African communities, specifically the Yoruba people, have shared for hundreds of years. This work challenges the Eurocentric idea that African people did not produce their own narratives.

By studying these oral accounts, readers gain a deeper understanding of how individuals and their communities have used stories and poems to document their existence across various African societies.
