The relationship between orality and literacy has been an ongoing debate that attracted the attention of many scholars of literature. The debate is steered by the different standpoints from which critics of literature view the concept literature. In the book, the author highlights the fine line that exists between oral literature and written literature. Through the work of the renowned Xhosa imbongi, S.E.K. Mqhayi, the author unpacks the dynamics of this connection by looking at literature from a socio-cultural, socio-historical perspective.
