ReviewsAdvance Praise forThe Hero with an African Face: "This fascinating exploration of African stories and myths informs and inspires us. And most importantly it tells us who we are as human beings--all of us." --Cornel West, author ofRace Matters "The Hero with an African Faceis a breakthrough book on the mythic imagination of Africa. Clyde Ford picks up where Joseph Campbell left off and takes us into the wonder and mystery of the African traditions. A master storyteller, he skillfully evokes the mythic vision, weaving personal reflections on the seeker's journey with interpretations of enchanting stories from the many voices south of the Sahara." --Jonathan Young, Ph.D., founding curator, Joseph Campbell Archives and Library "The Hero with an African Facepresents the compelling wisdom of African traditions, which is relevant to everyone living in the modern world. Through this book the deep well of sacred mythic knowledge left to us by these 'first peoples' can assume its nature and rightful place in the pantheon of world mythologies. Clyde Ford has given us an extraordinary gift." --Michael Toms, co-founder of New Dimensions Radio, author ofAn Open Life: Joseph Campbell in Conversations with Michael Toms, and co-author ofTrue Work: The Sacred Dimension of Earning a Living "Though the contribution of Africa to world mythology is monumental, African mythology has yet to gain the honor and admiration given to other mythologies in the West. Clyde Ford is destined to change this. The Hero with an African Faceresurrects the sacred wisdom of traditional Africa. This book should be read with reverence and respect." --Malidoma Somé, author ofOf Water and the Spirit
