Cancel’s innovative study tells us not only about storytelling but sheds light on the study of oral literatures throughout Africa and beyond. Its innovative format, meanwhile, explores new directions in the integration of primary source material into scholarly texts.
Storytelling in Northern Zambia is the third volume in our World Oral Literature Series. The Series is produced in conjunction with the World Oral Literature Project.
