DESCRIPTION:Toyin Falola\, Professor of History and Distinguished Teaching 
 Professor\, University of Texas at Austin. Jan Vansina was one of the foun
 ding fathers of the academic historiography of Africa when he established 
 that oral traditions were a valid historical source from a position of rel
 ative power after he realized the hegemony of written text. Toyin Falola a
 sserts that when we turn away from Vansina's central methodological tenets
 \, we turn primarily to the colonial and the postcolonial\, we have now to
 tally abandoned the precolonial\, the longest and most enduring period in 
 African history.\n\nCONTACT: 262-2380\, asp@africa.wisc.edu\n\nURL: https:
