This review is from: In Search of Sunjata: The Mande Oral Epic as History, Literature, and Performance (Paperback)
This collection of essays on Sunjata is important in recognizing the interconnectedness of history, literature and performance of the epic, Sunjata. This text puts Sunjata alongside epic poetry such as The Iliad and The Aeneid. The text opens the reader to ideas concerning the evolution of the poem from its oral tradition to its treatment in African cinema.
