American Ethnological Society Monograph Series Volume 1. 1989.. Ownership signature ffep. VG condition.. Printed wraps. 94pp 8vo. This book is about some East African farmers in a partly monetized economy and a partly Christianised religious environment who have decided that there are two kinds of money, one good and one evil. The Kenya Luo associate some new forms of exchange with spiritual forces. Money from forbidden transactions is conceived of as barren, and ultimately useless to its owner. But money is ritually transformable between good and evil states.
