About this title
Stephenie Hollyman’s intimate pictures show a tightly knit, cooperative society engaging in daily activities and sacred rituals: planting and harvesting crops, creating crafts, and performing varied religious ceremonies, most notably the masked dances with which the Dogon celebrate the honored burial of their dead. Walter van Beek’s engaging narrative displays the authority and observant eye of an anthropologist who has long lived among the people he writes about. This astonishing volume will find a rapt audience among readers of Abrams’ acclaimed African Ceremonies and other popular books on vanishing African tribal customs.
Walter E.A. van Beek is associate professor of cultural anthropology at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. He has done fieldwork in Africa for 30 years, studying the Kapsiki/Higi people of northern Cameroon and northeastern Nigeria and, since 1979, the Dogon of Mali. He has written many articles and two books on Africa.
