Anansi Storytelling Tradition

The Anansi storytelling tradition is an oral tradition from West Africa, particularly from the Asante culture in Ghana, which was brought to the Caribbean, Suriname, and the Antilles through slavery. 

Anansi, the cunning spider, is an archetypal trickster figure who embodies human weaknesses and cleverness: he is greedy, arrogant, and resourceful, often overcoming stronger opponents through cunning and wit. 

The stories, often told to children as moral lessons, emphasize themes of wisdom, survival, and anti-colonial resistance and live on in festivals and literature.
