African Myths and Beliefs

by Tony Allan, Fergus Fleming, Charles Phillips

From the earliest hunters and gatherers, African people have shared stories and legends about their origins and beliefs. These legendary myths have embedded themselves in the lives and culture of the African people and are represented in art, design, and music. This book explores some of these myths and legends and shows how they continue to manifest themselves in modern African culture.
