African Proverbs

Charlotte Wolf Leslau

Carry a little wisdom into the everyday with this pocket collection of African proverbs, gathered for reading, sharing and reflection. The short format makes it easy to dip into a saying, reflect on its meaning and share it in conversation. The book also raises questions about how cultural records and objects are collected, interpreted, preserved and shared.
