"Because divination plays a pivotal role in African cultures, understanding systems of divination becomes critical to virtually any study of African peoples. This unique collection of essays demonstrates the central role that divination continues to play throughout Africa in maintaining cultural systems and in guiding human action. The book explores the diversity of African divination systems, including various aspects of the diviner's life and the full divination complex. Among the topics examined are the preparation of diviners among the Zulu of South Africa and the Batammaliba of Togo; the origin and development of these systems of knowledge among the Atuot of Sudan and the Malagasy of Madagascar; the ways in which cultural systems are articulated and maintained through divination by the Lobi of Burkina Faso and the Pagibeti and Yaka of Zaire; and the acquisition of knowledge and establishment of truth among the Temne of Sierra Leone, the Nyole of Uganda, and the Giriama and Swahili of Kenya. African Divination Systems: Ways of Knowing offers insights for current discussions in comparative epistemology, cross-cultural psychology, cognition studies, semiotics, and ethnoscience as well as for religious studies and more traditional anthropology.".
