About This Item
Bruxelles: Vromant and Co., 1926. First edition. Octavo. 224 pp. plus some full page photographic illustrations. Publisher's printed yellow wrappers. Aside from the expected aging to paper, a very good and clean copy in the original wrappers.Title in English; The Azande or Niam-Niam: Zande organizations, religious and magical beliefs, family. The Zande, whose homelands lie within three modern African states (Republic of the Sudan, Zaire, Central African Republic), constitute a large and complex amalgam of originally distinct ethnic groups, united by culture and, to a considerable extent, by political institutions and by language. Because they originated in kingdoms founded by conquest, however, some scattered enclaves of earlier peoples still speak their original languages. "An excellent work, especially on general social organization, ceremonies surrounding the individual's life crises, and secret societies. Material on religion is subject to highly theoretical interpretation. The section on religion and magic has been utilized by Evans-Pritchard and compared with his own data " (eHRAF).
