Description: Uncoiling Python : South African Storytellers and Resistance, Hardcover by Scheub, Harold, ISBN 0821419218, ISBN-13 9780821419212, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US When Scheub (humanities, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) collected stories from rural areas of southern Africa during the late 1960s and 1970s, he realized that the white ruling class of South Africa were dangerously mistaken to dismiss folk tales as conventional fantasies of a subjugated people that had no political importance. Indeed, he found that the stories and the storytelling were a major part of how Africans survived the 350 years of apartheid. Here he both presents and analyzes stories, some in poem form, that the Xhosa, Zuli, Swati in Swaziland, and the Ndegele in the southern part of Zimbabwe used to maintain their identity and resistance.
