The Sacred Void: Spatial Images of Work and Ritual Among the Giriama of Kenya
ISBN: 9780521404662 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In this innovative study, David Parkin shows how indigenous African rites and beliefs may be reworked to accommodate a variety of economic systems, new spatial and ecological relations among communities, and the locally variable influences of Islam and Christianity. The Giriama people of Kenya include pastoralists living in the hinterland; farmers, who work land closer to the coast; and migrants, who earn money as laborers or fisherman on the coast itself. Wherever they live, they revere an ancient and formerly fortified capital, located in the pastoralist hinterland, which few of them ever...

The Anthropology of Evil
ISBN: 9780631154327 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Evil may be said to be shadowy, mysterious, covert, and associated with night, darkness, secrecy. It is a force acting to destroy the integrity, happiness and welfare of 'normal' society. It is at once the cause and the explanation of misfortune, of the wretchedness of human existence, and of our own individual wrongdoing. That, at any rate, is substantially the western Christianity (and pre-Christian) view.
Yet the different societies have opted for very different sets of explanations, which have themselves evolved in radically contrasting ways. There are societies, for example,...

The Politics of Cultural Performance
ISBN: 9781571819253 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The line between what is regarded by people as "traditional" and "modern" is constantly being altered by new configurations of power. These essays examine the ways in which such changes are both communicated and created through cultural performances in diverse ethnographic settings. Examples are drawn from a wide range of forms and expressions: divinatory sequences, spirit possession rites, state ceremonials, village feasts, pilgrimages, language-use and craft specialisms. It was Abner Cohen, to whom this volume is dedicated, who first suggested that a dialectical relationship existed between...

Neighbours and Nationals in an African City Ward
ISBN: 9781138861916 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This study analyses the way in which tribal ties are maintained in the development of a tribally mixed, middle class community in Kampala, Uganda. Political independence in the early nineteen sixties in much of Africa created expectations of increased development, education and living standards. There was hope that ethnic tensions arising from false colonial boundaries might be transcended by newly emerging socio-economic status-groups. However, the new national boundaries suddenly made aliens of peoples who had migrated and settled in towns distant from their home countries. The interplay of...

ISBN: 9781138591301 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Originally published in 1975, the studies in this volume examine the range of factors which mediate the development of social processes in both town and country: as well as migration there is the ebb and flow of beliefs, ideologies and educational and occupational opportunities. It considers the fundamental economic and political bases of migrations in the form of colonialism or multi-national controls of various kinds, international commodity markets of supply and demand, and the distinct development policies adopted by independent governments. The editor's introduction discusses old and new...

Islamic Prayer Across the Indian Ocean: Inside and Outside the Mosque
ISBN: 9781138862777 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In its attempt to squash the influence of animism and pantheism or polytheism and to promote the idea of the One and Only Absolute God, Islam has come up against a tendency within itself to incorporate certain local religious traditions and practices. This book shares that combination of universality and local particularity, exploring this paradox and the contradictory tendencies contained in it.
