African StorytellingFor the African, storytelling is integrated into everyday life and as such, it plays a major role in shaping people's lives. Storytelling not only entertains, it also helps the children in particular to discern the good values of life. As an adult, despite the advent of television, storytelling is a better and more humane community builder. Apart from its strength of entertainment, it has a very strong and positive way of promoting peaceful co-existence and impacting the lives of people of various backgrounds, since individuals can easily identify with the characters in the stories. This, among others, is the rationale for taking this unique Art into different communities. |
