West African Myths

by Jen Green

Book Overview

Readers get to explore a mythical world of sky, war, iron, and creator gods. The myths of West Africa are as diverse and varied as the peoples of the region. Even today, they form integral parts of the Igbo and Yoruba religions and have been partly adopted into local variants of mainstream Christianity and Islam.
