520 $aThis memoir on the ancient and future resources of African literature, by the author of Two Thousand Seasons, KMT and other novels, gives colonial Africanist preconceptions of Africa's literary heritage a clean burial. Citing new evidence on oral and written traditions, it shows that Africa's old oral culture, antedating the pyramids, was the matrix from which emerged the hieroglyphic literature of ancient Egypt.
