Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Akamba people of Kenya, their culture, traditions and way of life. Having lived among them for almost a year, the author presents a comprehensive monograph that delves into the Akamba's material, intellectual, and spiritual worlds. The author travelled with the Akamba hunters, attended marriages, circumcision rites, and funerals, sharing in their daily lives. The result is a fascinating glimpse into a culture threatened by societal pressures. The book discusses the encroachment of modern thought on traditional African religious beliefs, the loss of tribal customs, and the introduction of new technologies and ways of life. The author's insights into the social and cultural workings of the Akamba provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of the human condition and the impact of societal change on traditional ways of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330405918_0
