«The present study is based on the author’s fieldwork and is an account of the spirit cults of one particular African people, the Zinza of north-western Tanzania. He has attempted to analyse the spirit cults in terms of the opposition that exists in Zinza culture between two contrary states, which he has called order and disorder. The critical events of death, disease, or other misfortune constitute the basis for the interpretation that a person is in the state of disorder.» — fra bakomslaget
