Quotes
The kind of history known in Europe as scholarly and objective can never arise here because the African past has no documents or records, and each generation, listening to the version being transmitted to it, changed it and continues to change it.... As a result, history, free of the weight of archives, of the constraints of dates and data, achieves here its purest, crystalline form - that of myth.
