Download or read book African Fairy Tales From Bamileke People English French written by Rodrigue Tchamna and published by Resulam. This book was released on with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time… Il était une fois. Myths, legends and tales were/are the means used by Africans to convey messages. Tales, myths and legends are the most appropriate means of education to edify children. In most African tales, animals are personified in order to avoid using human beings as live actors in the story. Long before, tales were told by our bards and our poets, the so-called griots. They were usually older women. These tales used to be told at night, around a wood fire, while waiting for the meal to be ready. They seemed more interesting than modern televisions. Through Resulam, Resurrection of minority languages, the author presents here his childhood's tales. The tales are illustrated with high-quality colorful images in order to make it easy for children to follow the stories. This version is the English and French translation of the original book that was published on May 20, 2015. That original book was written in fè'éfě'è (nùfī) language, a bamileke language in Cameroon, Central Africa, then translated into French for French speakers, and into English for English Speakers. L'objectif de ce livre est de présenter au monde entier la façon des africains d'observer le monde, à travers les contes, mythes et légendes. Cette version Anglais-Français est une traduction directe du livre original écrit uniquement en langue fè’é’fě’è (nùfī), une langue bamiléké du Cameroun, située en Afrique Centrale.

This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the history of slavery is a central topic for African, Atlantic world and world history, most of the sources presenting research in this area are European in origin. To cast light on African perspectives, and on the point of view of enslaved men and women, this group of top Africanist scholars has examined both conventional historical sources (such as European travel accounts, colonial documents, court cases, and missionary records) and less-explored sources of information (such as folklore, oral traditions, songs and proverbs, life histories collected by missionaries and colonial officials, correspondence in Arabic, and consular and admiralty interviews with runaway slaves). Each source has a short introduction highlighting its significance and orienting the reader. This first of two volumes provides students and scholars with a trove of African sources for studying African slavery and the slave trade.
