Meet Juliana Nfah-Abbenyi

Friday 15 January 2010

The nuns in Juliana Nfah-Abbenyi’s Catholic boarding school disapproved of the folktales from her native village in Cameroon. But she reclaimed them in graduate school, transcribing and translating the wisdom passed down by her elders. Today she teaches English and Comparative Literature at N.C. State University. She joins host Frank Stasio to discuss her upbringing in an agrarian village and the new life she made for herself as an expatriate African scholar. This program originally aired on Monday, June 9th.
