The Maasai of Matapato (Routledge Classic Ethnographies) de Paul Spencer

The Maasai of Matapato: A Study of Rituals of Rebellion: Routledge Classic Ethnographies

Paul Spencer

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2003

When first published in 1988, this classic study was the first to relate the dynamics of the Maasai age organisation to the tensions within the family. Together, these provide the twin strands of a man's career, opposed ritually and reflecting a fundamental ambivalence in Maasai thought. The analysis is illustrated with extensive case material from the the Matapato, selected for this study as a typical Maasai group.

Descriere

This study pioneered the relation of the dynamics of the Maasai age organization to tensions within the family. Together, these provide the twin strands of a man's career, opposed ritually and reflecting a fundamental ambivalence in Maasai thought. This analysis is illustrated with case material from the Matapato: a typical Maasai group.
