More about the book

The study delves into the Uduk-speaking people's concepts of personhood and the foundations of their bodily and moral experiences. It examines the impact of a hunter's worldview on personal knowledge, the influence of foreign religious discourse throughout the region's political history, and the emergence of a new diviners' movement centered on the oracular consultation of burning ebony wood. This exploration highlights the interplay between cultural identity and external influences in shaping the Uduk community's spiritual practices.
