Professor Holy shows that the customary rituals and practices among the Berti of Northern Darfur (Sudan) constitute an integral part of their religious system. An ethnographic study of ritual, belief and gender in an African society, this work also makes a significant contribution to current anthropological discussion of the interpretation and meaning of rituals and symbols.
