ENDNOTES:

Endnote 1:Le Mali by Joseph Roger de Benoist, Paris, L'Harmattab, 1998, page 204: Amadou Hampate Ba nous a dit un jour: Dans la tradition africaine, il y a quatre personnes auxquelles on ne dit pas 'non': on ne dit pas 'non' au roi, on ne dit pas 'non' aux personnes plus agees, qu'on appelle les engendreurs, on ne dit pas 'non' au maître initiateur, on ne dit pas 'non' a l'etranger que Dieu vous envoie. A tous ceux-la, on leur sert un 'oui' de politesse et pas un 'oui' de verite. L'Europeen, quand il arrive, est un hote envoye par Dieu. On ne lui dit pas 'non'. On le laisse demander ce qu'il veut. Si l'on sent qu'il est venu avec une idee fixe et qu'il veut trouver quelque chose, on l'aide a trouver ce qu'il est venu chercher, et cela en inventant des legendes qui correspondent. On le laisse d'abord poser des questions, puis, vite, on invente une reponse, on improvise une legende. On appelle cela: 'mettre dans la paille', ce qui signifie 'econduire poliment'. Les Dogon se sont defendus ainsi, ils se sont forges des traditions extraordinaires.
