This is an “African Ethnological Monograph” published under
the auspices of the International African Institute in 1957. This monograph compilation is
mainly based on the findings of the Dakar-Djibouti Expedition to study the Dogon culture in
depth (1931-33). It also involves a wide literature search. This is a general survey with
chapters on the environment, nomenclature, physical anthropology, demography, history,
language, economy social life, religious and intellectual life, and external influences,
and supplies a clear description of the state studies on Dogon culture as a guidance for
future research. It also provides an excellent annotated bibliography.
