Anotácia knihy

Orature and Yoruba Riddles takes readers into the hitherto unexplored undercurrents of riddles in Africa. Because of its oral - and all too offten epehermal - nature, ridles have escaped close scrutiny from scholars. The strength of the Yoruba as the focus of this study is impressive indeed: a major ethnic group in Africa, with established connections with the black diaspora in North America and the Caribbean; a rich oral and written culture; a large diverse population; and an integrated rural-urban society. The book is divided into six chapters for readers' convenience. When read in sequence, the book provides a comprehensive, holistic sense of Yoruba creativity where riddles are concerned. At the same time, the book is conceived in a way that each chaper could be read individually. Therefore, those readers seeking understanding of a specific type of riddle may target a single chapter most relevant to her/his curiosity.
