Answer 1

What part of Africa?  Which culture group?  Africa is a huge continent with 40 countries and over 1,000 cultures.

Answer 2

you're already in a library, yes? look around you, do you see books?  try checking out some of those... I hear its what people did before the internet.. o_O

Africa is not a small, culturally uniform place, there is no ONE story of Shamanism so you'll need to search for something more specific

good luck

Answer 3

There's an old book by E.E. Evans-Pritchard called "Witchcraft, Oracles, and Magic among the Azande."  I read it for an Anthropology Witchcraft class in college.  Evans-Pritchard takes a very objective, formal approach and can feel outdated, but it might be worth reading to compare it to other sources.
