In this masterfully written book, the author, Dr. Taku Victor Jong, not only provides a thoroughly researched insight into the sheer evanescent state of the African oral narrative but also proposes an academic solution geared at bringing it back into the mainstream of the people’s collective consciousness.
The study, which spans the heydays of the folk narrative, passing through the reasons for its decline in the present day context will undoubtedly prove to be a useful tool in the hands of classroom teachers of English language and Literature, history, civic and moral education, lecturers of Drama and theatre arts and pedagogues of other subjects.
As an educationist and a high-profile adept of cultural studies, drama and performing arts, the author’s carefully thought-out proposals on adapting the Cameroonian oral tale into plays with the aid of Process Drama as well as in the context of modern audio-visual entertainment, is not only very workable but will go a long way to save this highly pedagogic aspect of African folk tradition from being completely and irretrievably lost.

Red Marks is a compelling satire about sexual harassment, otherwise known as sexually transmissible marks, a canker worm which is eating deep into the fabric of the society. The plot of the play revolves around the personal dilemma of Laura, an innocent University undergraduate with powerful emotions and rare determination who becomes the unwitting target of the concupiscence of the self-righteous philanderer, Bao.
Will she succeed in escaping
Red Marks is a compelling satire about sexual harassment, otherwise known as sexually transmissible marks, a canker worm which is eating deep into the fabric of the society. The plot of the play revolves around the personal dilemma of Laura, an innocent University undergraduate with powerful emotions and rare determination who becomes the unwitting target of the concupiscence of the self-righteous philanderer, Bao.
Will she succeed in escaping from his vicious and repulsive seduction and so preserve her virginity, or will she naively succumb to his lustful intrigues and allow herself to be deflowered?
The play gives a beautifully poised insight into what happens in situations where the powerful feed fat on the powerless.
