| 505 | 0 | |a The authors give a glimpse of the rich variety of oral traditions encountered in the southern African region and touch on a number of disciplines that investigate these traditions. Some contributions reveal that an ephemeral subject like oral traditions can be studied diachronically, as seen in Ntsikana's Great Hymn. Piet Dragghoender's Lament, on the other hand, rouses the emotions and gently stirs resentment against highhanded officials. The book reminds us that there are millions of people who do not have direct access to the media. These people are reliant on -- and highly proficient in -- their own oral traditions, through which they and their forefathers provided education and entertainment, long before the advent of the written word.
