Description
African tribes developed an extensive collection of oral literature long before Muslim traders brought an emphasis on written records to the region. Even after that point, oral traditions were viewed as the more authentic “African” way and they persisted as the primary method of teaching morality, reasoning, debating skills, community values and African religious values to the young. Dilemma tales are a form of African oral literature intended to improve reasoning skills and debating skills. In African culture, knowledge and mastery of proverbs earns great prestige because it is seen as having achieved wisdom. Further, when Africans seek advise from others, often the advice is given in the form of a proverb to ponder rather than a specific recommended course of action. Riddles are a popular form of the African oral tradition designed to improve reasoning ability. This bundle includes entertaining lessons on these three forms of African Oral Literature discounted by 25%!
