Harold Scheub
South African Voices is a three-volume set that contains performances by the extraordinary Xhosa storyteller, Nogenile Masithathu Zenani, and other Xhosa and Zulu oral historians and poets. The materials were taped and filmed by Harold Scheub in the late 1960s and in the 1970s, as he walked along the southeastern coastal areas of Africa, collecting and documenting the stories and poems of Xhosa and Zulu peoples. Each story is annotated in English.
Harold Scheub is the Evjue-Bascom Professor of the Humanities in the Department of African Languages and Literature at the UW–Madison. He specializes in African oral traditions and written literatures.
South African Voices: Created in Olden Times presents an introduction on the art of a storyteller by Nogenile Masithathu Zenani, translated by Harold Scheub.
