Description:
Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 1996. Paperback. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to inside corners; otherwise minimal wear; Gottlieb explroes ideology and social practices among the Beng people of Côte d'Ivoire. Deploying symbolic and postmodern perspectives, she highlights the dynamically paired notions of identity and difference, two principles fundamental in the Beng worldview and symbolized by the kapok tree planted at the center of every Beng village. Using numerous case studies, she then explores how these contradictory principles suffuse the diverse practice of myth and ritual, arranged marriage, and clan relations.
