IN GRIOT TIME

In Griot Time is a nonfiction work that explores the tradition of griots in West African culture. Griots are hereditary storytellers, historians, praise singers, and musicians who preserve and transmit oral history across generations, particularly within Mand? societies. The book examines how griots use music, poetry, and storytelling to keep community memory alive, celebrate important figures, and pass down cultural values. It also highlights the changing role of griots in modern society and how their oral art form continues to adapt while maintaining its deep historical significance.
