Description:

This was the first full-length account of a hitherto little-known people and remains one of the very few modern accounts of an African ancestral cult. But in spite of logical contradictions between many of their beliefs and actions there is a sociological consistency and the whole forms a single coherent pattern. John Middleton is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Yale.
