In \u003cem\u003eRemembering Nayeche and the Gray Bull Engiro\u003c\/em\u003e, Mustafa Kemal Mirzeler shows how the poetic journey of Nayeche and the gray bull Engiro and their metaphorical return during the Jie harvest rituals gives rise to stories, imagery, and the articulation of ethnic and individual identities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince the 1990s, Mirzeler has travelled to East Africa to apprentice with storytellers. \u003cem\u003eRemembering Nayeche and the Gray Bull Engiro\u003c\/em\u003e is both an account of his experience listening to these storytellers and of how oral tradition continues to evolve in the modern world.
