Seitel, Peter (Senior Folklorist, Center for Folklife Programs and Cultural Studies, Senior Folklorist, Center for Folklife Programs and Cultural Studies, Smithsonian Institute)
This volume describes a method for interpreting oral literature that enables dialogue between insiders and outsiders of a tradition. Seitel illustrates this method with lively examples from Haya (from Northwestern Tanzania) proverbs, folktales, and heroic verse.
