If you wish to disseminate the electronic article, or to produce multiple copies for classroom or educational use, please request permission from: Professional Relations Department 222 Rosewood Drive Danvers MA 01923 FAX: 978-750-4470/4744 Web address: For other permissions, use our online reprint request form One of the most exciting areas in the growth of African oral literary study within the last two decades has been the specialized interest in the continent's heroic epics: stories about great warriors, empire builders, and culture heroes like Sunjata among the Mandinka of Mali, Lianja among the Nkundo of Zaire, Shaka among the Zulu of South Africa, Ozidi among the Ijo of Nigeria's delta country, and many others. So widely has this interest growninvolving the collection of hitherto ignored epic texts and the critical study of themthat Indiana University Press, without doubt the sturdiest publisher of African studies in the United States, has seen fit to establish an African Epic Series to enshrine this body of work within the canons of higher education. With so much that has come to light, it is no longer possible to doubt, as was the case up to the 1970s, that the epic is a characteristic feature of Africa's oral traditions. And yet, if we took time to look beyond the walls of the academy, and projected our study of the epic within the larger context of the realities around us, we would find reason enough to temper our enthusiasm for this subject with a certain concern. In the more than three decades that African nations have been free from the colonial shackles that held them down for pretty much one century, most of them have been ruled by indigenous leaders who have done much worse to their people than the foreign usurpers. If we looked closely at the power profiles of these recent leaders, we would find them uncomfortably similar to the heroes we have grown accustomed to glorifying in our studies: leaders who held absolute power, exercising total proprietorship over the material and perhaps spiritual lives of those who lived under the shadow of their might.

28. African And African-American Culture And Traditions - African Storytelling And M Some of the more popular animals in african mythology include the snake, The python was often deified in african mythology according to legend, http://arts.osu.edu/ArtEducation/kplayground/storytelling.htm

document.write(graphicBlock(0,global_time)); The spider and the chameleon are also commonly found in many African stories and myths. The spider was depicted as a great hero in many African folktales. He was extremely cunning and was capable of overcoming every plot. Many people of ancient Africa considered the spider to be a personification of the sun's power. In West Africa, where the spider is called Anansi, he was portrayed as the cleverest of animals and often appears in myths where he is the chief official of God among men. The spider was thought to be the one who was commanded to spin a delicate thread that reached up to God in the sky, so people would have a path to heaven. The chameleon was thought to be one of the primordial animals that created the universe. Because of its slow walk and slow character, it was too late in bringing the message of the Great One to all people. So instead, the lizard brings death to the world, dooming every living creature to die. Special thanks to Chi-Ya Huang.
