The Art of Mythical Composition and Narration: Dagara White "Bagr" - Pensee et perspectives africaines / African Thought and Perspectives
Alexis B. Tengan
Throughout history, oral cultures lacking the medium of writing have relied on secret cults and societies to keep the authoritative versions of their sacred compositions. In this book, the author, after many years spent observing secret rites, presents different versions of the White Bagr mythical narrative, following the ritual calendar.
