Birago Diop

Diop, Birago

Born in 1906 in Senegal. Senegalese writer and folklorist.

Diop writes in French. His books Tales of Amadou Koumba (1947), New Tales of Amadou Koumba (1958), and Tales and “Lavanes” (1963) are fine literary treatments of folklore. They are directed against the power of the wealthy, who are despised by the working people, and against greed, self-interest, parasitism, and idleness. However, Diop is known for a certain idealization of Africa’s patriarchal structure and its animistic religion. His poetry is in the collection Lures and Glimmerings (1960).

Skazki Amadu Kumba. Moscow, 1961. (With an afterword by E. L. Gal’perina.)
