PERSONHOOD & AGENCY

The first of four volumes containing papers from a symposium, African Folk Models and Their Application, at Uppsala University, Sweden, August 1987. Many of the published versions incorporate the discussions they evoked at the symposium. Among the nine papers are analyses of the shadow in the Congolese, shape-shifting in Sierra Leone, a widow's dream from Kenya, and initiation among the Lobi.
