Beyond Bodies - Rain-Making and Sense-Making in Tanzania

It is tightly focused and based on solid research, demonstrating a remarkable knowledge of the literature on gender and rain-making. A unique and rich ethnography, it should appeal to Africanists and students of gender and religion.'-Adeline Masquelier, Department of Anthropology, Tulane University Zusammenfassung Beyond Bodies examines the Ihanzu sensibilities about gender through a fine-grained ethnography of rainmaking rites.
