Lugbara Religion: Ritual and Authority Among an East African People (Classics in African Anthropology) - Softcover
Synopsis
With a new introduction by Thomas Beidelman This series of Classics in African Anthropology is primarily drawn from a distinct family of texts which dominated the academic analysis of society in mid-20th century Africa. The texts reproduced are significant yet often neglected, and have stood the test of time. John Middleton's classic study on the Lugbara was originally published in 1960.
