Summary

"Some Aspects of Bari History: A Comparative Linguistic and Oral Tradition Reconstruction is about a history of a people known as the Bari. Basing his studies on recorded oral traditions as passed down from one generation to the next, and with the help of historical comparative techniques, the author defines who the Bari are. He traces their ancestry and their migratory routes by using oral tradition, language, values, customs and institutions."--BOOK JACKET.
