Oral Traditions and the Physical Environment

Abstract

Yankah, Kwesi: Oral Traditions and the Physical Environment. Geografisk Tidsskrift 90: xx xx. Copenhagen, 1990. The interaction between a people's oral traditions and their physical environment may refer to the ways in which oral traditions, attitudes, and beliefs influence interaction with the physical environment, or the various ways in which the environment is reflected within the oral traditions and related practices. A people's unique ecology strongly influences their way of life and world view. It sharpens their distinctiveness as a people, and gives their oral traditions a quality that is uniquely theirs.
