This memoir on the ancient sources and future resources of
African literature, gives colonial Africanist preconceptions of
Africa’s literary heritage a clean burial. Citing new evidence

sharing numerous myths, narratives, symbols and words,
constitute an ancestral treasury of concepts and images, a
profound source of artistic inspiration and organizational ideas
for writers and intellectuals ready to work an African future.
