I have been very much enlightened by this book. Adeduntan has a
magisterial command of his primary materials, and his critical and
theoretical explorations are wide, deep, and sophisticated. There is no
doubt about it: this is an exemplary model for a new Yoruba studies. It
is, like the composite image of the hunter, a muscular herald of a new
conceptually capacious direction in the study of African oral tradition,
performance, and narrative, and in African cultural studies in
general.”
