  • Product Description

    Audrey Richards's observation of the entire chisungu or female initiation rite, is one of the few fascinating studies to deal exclusively with the initiation of girls into adult life. The author shows how puberty rituals reflect tribal attitudes to sex, fertility, marriage, and the rearing of children, and celebrate the attainment of sexual and social maturity. Her detailed description of chisungu and her analysis of Bemba matrilinear society, make this a classic ethnographic work.
