Ritual and Drama in Africa

Abstract

T he terms and have been loosely used over a long period of time. And the more popular the term ritual, the vaguer its meaning becomes, perhaps in part because there are few rituals in our own society. I shall turn to Africa, where both ritual and the forms of drama closest to it-those of folk drama-remain vigorous, and by examining their relationship endeavor to clarify the distinctions between them.
