Abstract
This document, written by two professional anthropologists from secondary materials, gives a succinct account of several aspects of Azande ethnography, with special emphasis on culture history, relations with neighboring tribes, and subject peoples, political structure of Zande society, social and kinship organizations (including marriage), witchcraft, oracles and magic, and Zande religion. Some very brief information is also presented on location of the Zande, population size, language, dress, physical characteristics and ornamentation. Material culture is covered very little, if at all, and only the briefest mention is given to Zande religious ceremonials.
