(Two Volume Set) Hausa Folk-Lore Customs, Proverbs Etc. Collected and Transliterated with English Translation and Notes by R. Suthernland Rattray with a Preface by R.R. Merett, published in 1913. A comprehensive look into the rich cultural heritage of the Hausa people, a major ethnic group in West Africa. A student of Marrett, Rattray recognized the sophistication of the traditional literatures and engaged Hausa malams, trained in Arabic script, who amassed hundreds of sheets of manuscript. The stories, customs, and proverbs in the book are presented in their original Hausa language on one side, with a transliteration into the Roman alphabet for ease of reading and notes to provide context and explication for readers unfamiliar with the Hausa language and culture. The book is an invaluable resource for scholars of African folklore, anthropology, and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the Hausa people and their traditions. An exceptionally bright set of the first edition.…
