In this remarkable book, Clyde Ford restores to us the lost treasure of African mythology, bringing to life the ancient tales and showing why they matter so much to us today.

African myths convey the perennial wisdom of humanity: the creation of the world, the hero's journey, our relationship with nature, death, and resurrection. From the Ashanti comes the moving account of the grief-stricken Kwasi Benefo's journey to the underworld to seek his beloved wives. From Uganda we learn of the legendary Kintu, who won the love of a goddess and created a nation from a handful of isolated clans. The Congo's epic hero Mwindo is the sacred warrior who shows us the path each person must travel to discover his true destiny.

These and other important African myths show us the history of African Americans in a new light--as a hero's journey, a courageous passage to a hard-won victory. The Hero with an African Face enriches us all by restoring this vital tradition to the world.

The best of the basics
Color: Ivy Green
Simple and on point. Minimalistic. One side for cash, folded in half. Other side 3 slots can comfortably fit 4 cards: ID / bank & or credit card / costco card. Any more than 4 gets a little harder to pull out. But dont worry, thats what the zipper pocket is for. Maybe just a few more tho, like health insurance cards. For just the basics.

Perfect for a minimalist
Color: Ivy Green
My husband had this exact wallet for 8 years. It was still functional and used daily. I got him this replacement and he was beyond excited. Said that it was his favorite Christmas gift lol. The durability and function of this minimalist wallet is unmatched. Love the color too!

My favorite wallet ever made. Second one owned
Color: Blue
This is my favorite wallet of all time. Colds my money cards and ID snug on the outside. Inside can hold a few more cards and some folded cash. High quality build. This will last a long time. Good price
