Description

Explore the deep connections between daily life and belief systems in West Africa with Living in a Landscape of Scarcity by Laurence Douny. Published by Routledge as part of the UCL Institute of Archaeology Publications, this work provides a close ethnography of a Dogon village in Mali. Douny examines how a microcosmology forms through the embodied ritual and daily practices of a community living in a landscape defined by limited resources. By looking at containment practices, the text explains how people manage the shortage of vital material items such as water, earth, and millet. This study offers valuable perspectives for those interested in ecological anthropology, West African cultures, and the study of material culture. It serves as a significant contribution to anthropological theory, helping readers understand how scarcity shapes human existence and social organization. Whether you are a student or a researcher, this book provides a detailed look at the relationship between material needs and cosmological views.
