Gendered Ritual Dualism in a Patrilineal Society
Although a favourable position for women is usually anticipated where they occupy important economic roles in the context of matrilineal descent, such a position may well exist in a patrilineal society, especially if women organise as in West Africa.

The present article demonstr…

For Cameroon, the links between religious beliefs and types of economy and economic morals, and the changes in belief systems with economic, social…

This picture is the result less of the conviction of the authors that conditions …
