Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Sunjata epic is a foundational oral narrative for Manding populations of West Africa and claims to describe the origins of the famed medieval empire of Mali. It is both a historical source and an artistic creation of West African oral specialists, the griots (jeliw). Despite its importance, the epic is known to Anglophone non-specialists only through a handful of accounts published after 1960. Corpus of Early Accounts of the Sunjata Epic,1889-1959 presents twenty understudied versions of the epic, recorded during the colonial period, that are not easily accessible. Previously published in French and German colonial periodicals, here these sources aretranslated into English, each with a scholarly introduction, allowing the reader to appreciate each version's context and purpose. The Corpus enables in-depth study of the coherence of and variation within the Sunjata epic oral tradition. It presents a rich evocation of this still-living performance tradition during almost the entirety of the Western Sudan's turbulent period of European colonial control, from the late 1880s to 1959.
