DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this companion volume to Parallel Worlds, Alma Gottlieb explores ideology and social practices among the Beng people of Côte d'Ivoire. Employing symbolic and postmodern perspectives, she highlights the dynamically paired notions of identity and difference, symbolized by the kapok tree planted at the center of every Beng village. "This book merits a number of readings. . . . An experiment in ethnography that future projects might well emulate." —Clarke K. Speed, American Anthropologist "[An] evocative, rich ethnography. . . . Gottlieb does anthropology a real service." —Misty L. Bastian, American Ethnologist "Richly detailed. . . . This book offers a nuanced descriptive analysis which commands authority." —Elizabeth Tonkin, Man "Exemplary. . . . Gottlieb's observations on identity and difference are not confined to rituals or other special occasions; rather she shows that these principles emerge with equal force during daily social life." —Monni Adams, Journal of African Religion "[An] excellent study." —John McCall, Journal of Folklore Research

As the seasons change, he is confronted with the challenge of letting go. Little Leaf tries to hold on and questions why he must fall. Big Tree comforts him and helps him to see hope and wisdom that stretches beyond Little Leafs concrete awareness. Little Leaf trusts Big Tree and makes a daring leap from the tree to the ground. In the end, the season of change brings something better than Little Leaf could have ever imagined. This book is designed to show a process of trust when in relationship with a safe other.
