Abstract

All folklore, be it familial, communal, or national, needs watchers/ recorders/ outsiders of percipience. Both internally and comparatively, these two nations have offered numerous insightful perspectives for World Folklore, both in their own country and much further afield. As ex-colonial and watcher nations from the periphery, they have proved to be significant players on and clear-sighted [migrant] interpreters of much larger stages, as well as their own.
