Contemporary Oral Literature Fieldwork
A Researcher s Guide
:
Contemporary Ora! Literature Fieldwork: A Researcher s Guide is based on rich research experience dating back to the 1990s. The book interrogates and evaluates works by experts in oral literature and also comments from scholars, thus demonstrating respect for scholarship. The book is written against the backdrop of Africa s apparent confusion with regard to the place of oral literature in the face of literature from the rest of the world, where oral literature exists in conjunction with new literary forms. It argues that the oral and written literatures are complementary literary forms. The book is a major contribution to the discourse on African Oral Literature in the twenty-first century. Researchers and scholars of orality will find it an indispensible guide as they study old and emergent oral genres in a technologically driven society.
Peter Wasamba is Associate Professor, Department of Literature and Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of Nairobi. He holds Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and PhD degrees in Literature from the University of Nairobi. Wasamba is currently working on a research project on digitization and archiving of African oral genres. He has extensive fieldwork experience in the oral literature of various counties in Kenya. He has also been exposed to field research in the oral literature traditions in a number of African countries, the Republic of Korea, Japan, USA, and Europe. Wasamba has disseminated his research findings extensively through internationally esteemed academic journals.
