Download or read book Tales of the Niger written by Ene Divine and published by . This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ene Divine has carefully curated tales with the aim of preserving Nigeria's oldest stories and introducing new ones to children around the world. These "beloved stories" are a blend of the rich cultures of France, Europe, and Africa and feature characters such as The King and the JuJu Tree, Iyeji and Ikinabo, the cunning Tortoise, and the explanation of how animals gained their tails and horns through an Igbo fable. These tales also include creation myths that reveal the origin of the land, its creatures, and its people, set against breathtaking mountain landscapes or under a shining sun. Whether they serve as cautionary tales about the consequences of disobedience or showcase the triumph of the underdog, these stories are universal in their portrayal of humanity, animals, and the mystical. They offer lessons and insights into the human experience through their depiction of wise creatures and evil monsters. What makes this book particularly fascinating is that many of these tales have been passed down orally for generations and date back almost as far as the history of Africa itself. They were first told in various Nigerian languages, such as Hausa, Idoma, Yoruba, Igbo, and more, around campfires in centuries past, including the tales of Iyeji and Ikinabo and How the Tortoise Got his Crooked Shell. Translated into French and other European languages in the 19th and 20th centuries, these folktales serve as a testament to the art of storytelling and the enduring power of myth.

Download or read book Zarma Folktales of Niger written by and published by Quale Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Folklore. African and African American Studies. Young Adult Fiction. Translated by Amanda Cushion. ZARMA FOLKTALES OF NIGER presents for the first time in English the folklore of the Zarma, a lesser-known tribe of West Africa. These tales run the gamut from teaching ethical and moral lessons to portraying tricksters to naming animals to farting contests to having fun. Humor and an emphasis on living justly bind the stories together. So far there have been few mentions of the Zarma people in Western texts, and no sign of their folklore, until now. While many English translations of African folklore exist already, they are mainly restricted to better-known cultures. ZARMA FOLKTALES OF NIGER captures the reality of the culture that created the tales, preserving what might otherwise have been lost from the oral tradition. Unlike similar collections of African folklore, ZARMA FOLKTALES OF NIGER provides the cultural and historical context necessary to truly appreciate and understand these tales. The introduction outlines Niger's history and describes the relationships of the Zarma to neighboring tribes, and the glossary explains common terms and expressions found in the stories. These tales will be of interest to children, general readers of folklore, and those interested in African culture, as well as to cultural anthropologists and ethnographers.

Download or read book Nigger written by Randall Kennedy and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randall Kennedy takes on not just a word, but our laws, attitudes, and culture with bracing courage and intelligence—with a range of reference that extends from the Jim Crow south to Chris Rock routines and the O. J. Simpson trial. It’s “the nuclear bomb of racial epithets,” a word that whites have employed to wound and degrade African Americans for three centuries. Paradoxically, among many Black people it has become a term of affection and even empowerment. The word, of course, is nigger, and in this candid, lucidly argued book the distinguished legal scholar Randall Kennedy traces its origins, maps its multifarious connotations, and explores the controversies that rage around it. Should Blacks be able to use nigger in ways forbidden to others? Should the law treat it as a provocation that reduces the culpability of those who respond to it violently? Should it cost a person his job, or a book like Huckleberry Finn its place on library shelves?

Download or read book African Tales written by Harold Scheub and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2005-04-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest work from Harold Scheub, one of the world's leading scholars of African folktales, is the broadest collection yet assembled with tales from the entire continent of Africa, north to south. It brings together mythic, fantastic, and coming-of-age tales, some transcribed more than a hundred years ago, others dating to modern-day Africa. Scheub includes the work of storytellers from major African language groups, as well as many storytellers whose work is not often heard outside of Africa. This anthology offers a classroom-ready collection that should appeal to any scholar of African literature and culture. Realizing that these tales are part of a dying art, Scheub writes for the inner ear in everyone, bringing an oral tradition to life in written form.

Download or read book To Timbuktu written by Mark Jenkins and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stalked by crocodiles, charged by hippos, attacked by African killer bees, Mark Jenkins tells of the first descent of the Niger River in West Africa. In 1991 author Mark Jenkins, along with three companions and an intuitive African guide, set out to find the lost source of the Niger. Smuggling in weapons for protection, the team crossed into war-torn Sierra Leone, found the fountainhead, dropped in their kayaks and set off. During their journey they passed through villages where every female child has had a clitoridectomy; stumbled upon a brotherhood of blind men living alone in the bush and danced by firelight with a hundred women. And yet To Timbuktu is far more than an adventure book, it is a story about the meaning of friendship, fear, struggle, loss and tragically, death. Interweaving the tales of his own journey with the stories of the early explorers who tried to reach Timbuktu - men of unconquerable will, vanity and perseverance who would die beheaded, speared or eaten alive - Jenkins examines the why of adventure. Why do humans risk their lives for seemingly futile goals? To Timbuktu has the answers.

Book Synopsis The Story of the Niger by : Robert Richardson
Download or read book The Story of the Niger written by Robert Richardson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Niger: A Record of Travel and Adventure From the Days of Mungo Park to the Present Time This Story of the Niger is a rapid summary of facts. The material upon which the narrative is based is found scattered over many bulky volumes, such as few readers would have either the leisure or the inclination to attack. But it has been thought that, from the intrinsic interest of the story, a brief continuous narrative might prove acceptable to all who love a tale of travel and adventure. The story in these pages is essentially that told by the actors in the drama themselves, and is such as demanded no decoration at second hand. What has been aimed at was simply to collect all that was most striking and interesting, most pathetic or most humorous, and to weld the whole together in a consecutive and trust worthy narrative.
