ABSTRACT
Telling stories is traditional in many cultures. The African Griot or storyteller uses the oral tradition to pass on tales from generation to generation. In India the Hindu Ramayana, with its miracle plays and parables, tells epic stories of the battle between the Gods for good and evil. In the academic world we use critical race theory which is based on situational and refl exive knowledge to illuminate hidden or marginal social realities. Stories are a powerful way to talk.
