As we do not know what text you are referring to, we cannot use evidence from this. However, we can still talk about the connection between African oral storytelling and the preservation of African culture in the Americas.

Oral storytelling is a very important part of many African cultures. This is the main way in which cultural knowledge is passed down from generation to generation. It is also the main way in which the past is preserved.

When African people were kidnapped and taken to the Americas as slaves, many of them carried this tradition with them. Once in the Americas, this cycle of storytelling and of the preservation of culture continued within slave families and groups, which ensured that African culture was preserved within African American communities for centuries.
