Books by Harold Scheub

Harold Scheub has conducted many investigations into nonverbal aspects of storytelling. In this work, he searches out what makes a story artistically engaging and emotionally evocative, the metaphorical centre that Scheub calls ""the poem in the story"".

The oral and written traditions of the Africans of South Africa have provided an understanding of their past and the way the past relates to the present. This book offers the study of how Africans used oral traditions as a means of survival against European domination.
