THE FUSION OF AFRICAN AND AMERINDIAN FOLK MYTHS
My formal studies of the fusion of African and Amerindian folk myths began when I recreated six folktales I had heard in my childhood for a British Broadcasting Corporation programme. I wrote the six folk stories in dialect and broadcast them on the BBC 3rd Programme. They were entitled: “The Legend of Nameless Mountain”, “Anancy and Tiger”, “The Coming of Amalivaca”, “The Legend of Kaietuk”, “The Children of the Sun”, and “Kaie and Ichillibar”.
