This book not only gives you an idea about male circumcision in rural Africa, but it also gives you a sense of the importance of oral tradition in African societies.From the tale, to the myth while passing by the proverbs and riddles and until the epic narrations, there is always a teaching to pull, a value to instill.The purpose of this book is not to represent oral tradition as the only support of African societies, but to examine the technical innovations adapted to the land and the needs of the humans through discussion and transposition. The modern pedagogue must fear the oral tradition and try to recapture strength and the wealth that it once held, to associate them to his own methods.This Book will also show you that Africa is home to innumerable tribes and ethnic and social groups, some of them very large populations consisting of millions of people and others smaller groups of a few thousands. All these tribes and groups have cultures, which are different; they represent the mosaic of cultural diversity in Africa.
