Description

Mambila Divination: Framing Questions, Constructing Answers provides a deep look into the study of divination through long-term fieldwork with the Mambila people in Cameroon. Part of the Routledge Studies in Anthropology series, this book shifts the analytical focus from the diviners to the perspectives of the clients. By examining the specific questions asked and the life histories of those seeking guidance, David Zeitlyn offers a fresh way to understand how these practices function in real life. This work is built on a massive corpus of more than 600 cases, allowing for a thorough reconsideration of existing theories regarding divination. The text compares Mambila spider divination with related systems found in the surrounding region to provide broader context. Using conversational analytic principles, the book presents a detailed case study that examines the mechanics of these interactions. It is a significant resource for students and researchers interested in social sciences, anthropology, and the practical application of divinatory systems.
