Notes	Includes bibliographical references and index In this study of the Ndembu of Zambia, ritual is examined under two aspects: as a regulator of social relations over time and as a system of symbols. Social life is thereby given direction and meaning. An extended case-study of a series of ritual performances in the life of a single village community is analysed in order to estimate the effects of participation in these symbolic events on its component groups and personalities Also available in print format HTTP:URL=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429486012 Pub. note=Click here to view.
