| Abstract: | An African proverb states that “When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground”. A culture’s richness is measured and stored in its oral traditions. It is the culture’s unadulterated perception of their way of life and the world around them as well as a repository of cultural history. Alex Haley’s seminal novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family is a truly African perspective into how oral traditions can preserve the true history of an oppressed group whose identity has been destroyed by an oppressive culture. This paper aims to explore the role and importance of African oral traditions in the fight against European colonization, specifically in terms of the preservation of cultural identity by tracing the history of various African oral traditions, the roles of Griots and how they provide a uniquely African perspective in our postcolonial, globalized world. |
