Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this short article, Evans-Pritchard discusses the
historical origins of several Azande institutions: secret medicine societies, body
mutilation and circumcision, burial and mortuary forms, and some vocabulary items. He
argues that these traits, and perhaps many others as well, were not internal developments
but probably derive from foreign contact and acculturation during the periods of Azande
conquests and invasions. While his evidence for the derivation of these institutions is by
no means conclusive of definitive, the fact that the Azande have had intensive external
relations with other societies, through trade or warfare, at least indirectly supports the
idea of acculturation.
