    Description

    First Edition, With Dustwrapper

    The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Roy Wagner (1938-2018) was an American cultural anthropologist, best known for The Invention of Culture, which is considered a classic of ethnography and theory. This work is based on the time he spent observing the Daribi people and their religion. He explores their culture and provides discussion of the habu ceremony, in which participants summon ghosts for reconciliation.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is in lovely condition. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for the odd spot to the fore edge. Dust wrapper is very bright and smart apart from a little sunning to the spine.
