Midnight Fairytales
This work of fiction, entitled Midnight Fairy Tales, is a creative writing project that explores a selection of African historical legends in a medium as faithful to the original stories as the research and the project’s structure will allow. Its form, with the use of a framing story to provide incentive for the telling of the smaller ones, was partially inspired by Arabian Nights. The stories themselves were simply ones that I found extremely fascinating when I chanced upon a few lines about them in various required texts from my Africana Studies courses. I would hope the frame story itself helps to justify why I chose to undertake a project of quasi-historical fiction rather than write a traditional historical paper. But, just as important as the motive, is the means which Africana Studies provides, being such an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of study, to execute a capstone project in this way.
