The book contains chapters on the house; the village and the domain (an aggregate of villages); space and cosmos; religion (the notions 'hamangu' and 'ndewa'; divinity and the ancestors; the powers of the earth); the cycle of life and death; social order (class stratification; the division of authority; descent groups) and the system of asymmetric prescriptive alliance by which it is governed; marriage prestations and the various ways of contracting a marriage. The study is based on 22 months of fieldwork. ER -
