"This collection of essays spans a 15 year period of close observation of Zambia, and its first leader, Kenneth Kaunda. It begins with the 1984 Zambian elections and continues to Kaunda's accusation of treason by the Chiluba government in 1998. An eyewitness series of events as they happened, the volume is a contemporary chronicle not paralleled elsewhere."--BOOK JACKET.

"The epic tale that constitutes the core of this study is the first attempt of a literary reconstruction of the foundation myth of the Wolof, the myth of Njaajaan Njaay as performed by a griot, Sèq Ñan ... The second text with which this study is concerned is a genealogy of the rulers of Waalo, also from the lips of Sèq Ñan"--Introd.
