South African Voices Volume 3: The Way We Travelled; Oral History and Poetry

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: The Way We Travelled; Oral History and Poetry contains conversations between Scheub and two poets in addition to stories and poems.
