In all cases the narratives state the culpability and the justified damnation of the white ancestor. Fallen, rejected, ashamed, cast out, or self-exiled (out of shame), the white plays the nefarious role. For this reason, he is damned, whereas blacks maintain the original stock of humanity that did not experience a downfall. In this context the ethnocentric vision of the events related (Africa as the cradle of humanity and blacks as the human prototypes) takes on particular importance since it consolidates the moral, esthetic, and social aspects of the African's positive characterization. In this perspective, the African condition is seen as representing the continuity of humanity from its origins to the present, whereas the European condition is considered as the outcome of a series of ruptures-moral, social, geographical, racial. These stories thus outline an interpretation of African mythical history that contrasts with the negative destiny of whites whose central characteristics could be defined as inauthenticity and uprootedness.
