Synopsis
In this companion volume to Parallel Worlds, Alma Gottlieb
explores ideology and social practices among the Beng people of Côte
d'Ivoire. Employing symbolic and postmodern perspectives, she highlights
the dynamically paired notions of identity and difference, symbolized by
the kapok tree planted at the center of every Beng village.
"This book merits a number of readings. . . . An experiment in
ethnography that future projects might well emulate." —Clarke K. Speed,
American Anthropologist
"[An] evocative, rich ethnography. . . . Gottlieb does anthropology a
real service." —Misty L. Bastian, American Ethnologist
"Richly detailed. . . . This book offers a nuanced descriptive analysis
which commands authority." —Elizabeth Tonkin, Man
"Exemplary. . . . Gottlieb's observations on identity and difference are
not confined to rituals or other special occasions; rather she shows
that these principles emerge with equal force during daily social life."
—Monni Adams, Journal of African Religion
"[An] excellent study." —John McCall, Journal of Folklore

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to inside corners; otherwise minimal wear; Gottlieb explroes ideology and social practices among the Beng people of Côte d'Ivoire. Deploying symbolic and postmodern perspectives, she highlights the dynamically paired notions of identity and difference, two principles fundamental in the Beng worldview and symbolized by the kapok tree planted at the center of every Beng village. Using numerous case studies, she then explores how these contradictory principles suffuse the diverse practice of myth and ritual, arranged marriage, and clan relations. N° de réf. du vendeur 005684
