Among the topics examined are the preparation of diviners among the Zulu of South Africa and the Batammaliba of Togo; the origin and development of these systems of knowledge among the Atuot of Sudan and the Malagasy of Madagascar; the ways in which cultural systems are articulated and maintained through divination by the Lobi of Burkina Faso and the Pagibeti and Yaka of Zaire; and the acquisition of knowledge and establishment of truth among the Temne of Sierra Leone, the Nyole of Uganda, and the Giriama and Swahili of Kenya.
