Présence Africaine
No. 65

A number on PEDAGOGY AND AFRICAN CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, opening with a section on Negro-African dance — JUDITH LYNNE HANNA on the dance-plays of Ubakala in Nigeria, and Rogelio Martinez Fure on the drum. MÁRIO DE ANDRADE surveys African poetry of Portuguese expression, followed by poems from AGOSTINHO NETO — later the first president of Angola — Antonio Jacinto, José Craveirinha, Francisco José Tenreiro and Costa Andrade. E. N. OBIECHINA writes on “AMOS TUTUOLA AND THE ORAL TRADITION”, a direct answer to the Tutuola stories this Library holds in Nos. 30 and 36. The chronicles bring the Sierra Leonean playwright PAT ABISODOU MADDY and the South African BLOKE MODISANE’s tale “Le mendiant professionnel”.
