| ملاحظات: | Originally published in Dutch: Laat de boomstam maar liggen. Aalsmeer : Luyten, 1990. Includes index of persons. In 1967, Tony van Buren went as a missionary-sponsored anthropologist to the Bawòng of the Congo, neighbours of the Lele made famous by Mary Douglas. Like Douglas he found his encounter there to be the most important of his life. Stalled by the prospect of presenting beliefs he could not believe to be true, van Buren's outlook was changed by his own authentic Bawòng experience: a dream in which he was visited by the tribal chief and his wife. Simultaneously attempting to do justice to both European and Bawòng points of view, and incorporating stories from the inhabitants of his host village, this is a magical-realistic travel story through the land of the Bawòng from a man experiencing overlapping beliefs. |
