| Summary, etc. |
'This collection of fascinating and revealing tales captures the sprawling diversity of African mythology. Four hundred alphabetically arranged entries touch on virtually every aspect of African religious belief, from Africa's great epic themes (dualistic gods, divine tricksters, creator gods, and heroes) to descriptions of major mythic systems (the Dogon, the Asante, and the San) and beyond....Perhaps most impurtant, Scheub emphasizes the role of mythmaker as storyteller--as a performer for an audience....' |
