The Multiple Ways In Which People Relate To Animals Provide A Revealing Window Through Which To Examine A Culture.

This Comprehensive And Very Readable Study Focuses On Malawi People And Their Rich And Varied Relationship With Animals From Hunting Through To Their Use As Medicine. More Broadly, Through A Rigorous And Detailed Study The Author Provides Insights Which Show How The People'S Relationship To Their World Manifests Itself Not Strictly In Social Relations, But Just As Tellingly In Their Relatioships With Animals That, In Fact, Animals Constitute A Vital Role In Social Relations. While Significantly Advancing Classic African Ethnographic Studies, This Book Also Incorporates Current Debates In A Wide Range Of Disciplines From Anthropology Through To Gender Studies And Ecology.
