Power and Performance: Ethnographic Explorations Through Proverbial Wisdom and Theater in Shaba, Zaire - New direction in anthropological writing Paper edition
Johannes Fabian
An examination of traditional proverbs about power. The book presents rehearsal and performance versions of a play which emerged from the author's attempts to track down the meaning of a phrase - ""power is eaten whole"" - which he encountered when he was engaged in fieldwork in Shaha, Zaire.
