AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study of the Dogon's alimentation is primarily based on the author's intensive field investigation in the region of Sanga and in terms of the market of this region. The authors present good information on the alimentary and culinary material as well as on the Dogon classification of cooking recipes. Precise details concerning the organization of family economy and an important aspect of Dogon psychology characterized by a mixture of practical science and a symbolic vision of the world are also presented.
