I don't know if this is the right board for this but what does /his/ know about African folklore and fantasy? We see a lot of European inspired stuff in the media, does Africa have myths and cultural things that can be retooled to make fantasy stories?

I'm not too sure about traditional African fantasy, but The Vorrh is a great "colonial" fantasy set in Africa.
Of course if we mean Africa the continent, you can't go wrong with the Ancient Egyptians. Ancient Evenings is a good fictional introduction to their history and mythology.

Africans tended to not write things down, and relied on oral tradition for preserving their histories and folklore. Which is bad because means that if your culture experiences a significant disruption, such as say, getting conquered by somebody else, you have no way to recover lost knowledge afterwards.
