The Study of Witchcraft
The main objective of the modern anthropological fieldworker is to discover principles governing the interaction of the members of the society he is studying. In seeking material on sorcery and witchcraft that is likely to aid his general sociological analysis, the fieldworker may profitably combine methods traditionally divided between anthropology and sociology. In the early stages, his primary task is to acquire a full qualitative understandin…

The Witch Figure
How Real is the Charmed Circle in African and Western Thought
Opening ParagraphThis article attempts to carry further the discussion of some aspects of the issues of the analysis of relations between African traditional thought and Western concepts of causation presented by Robin Horton (1967) in earlier articles in this journal. It will also be clear to some readers that its title has been inspired by the theme of Sir Karl Popper's two-volume work, The Open Society and Its Enemies, which first appeared in …
Witchcraft
Anthropologists' Declining Productivity in the Sociology of Witchcraft1
There are two main lines of research stemming from Euans-Pritchard's classic study of witchcraft among the Azande. The first is the comparative study of cosmologies, which, inter alia, has thrown light on modern debates regarding the nature of scientific cosmology. The second has been concerned with the part played by accusations of witchcraft in micro-political processes. Even in the second of these research fields, the contributions of anthropo…

An Ethnographic Classic Brought to Light
Opening ParagraphIn 1825, António Candido Pedroso Gamitto, a cadet aged nineteen in one of the Lisbon regiments, was sent to Africa as an ensign. He himself was well aware of how this course of events interfered with his education:At a period of life when a youth who is his own master and not lacking in means dedicates himself to studies, that is what happened to me. As I grew older I realised that I had lost the best time and opportunity for stu…
History and tradition in East Central Africa through the Eyes of the Northern Rhodesian Ceŵa
My excuse for presenting this summary of Ceŵa tradition and history is that the Ceŵa are a numerous and important people. Numerically they are the most important descendants of the Malawi (the Maravi or Maraves of Portuguese records); and the fact that the name of their ancestors has been adopted by the majority party in Nyasaland led by Dr Hastings Banda, himself a Ceŵa, is one of the indications of their political importance

Ethnology and Ethnography
The modern family in social-anthropological perspective
SYNOPSIS A review of what light social anthropology throws on the problems confronting the modern family serves to illustrate the part this discipline can play in the advancement of the social sciences as a whole, and to show its progressively closer association with general sociology. Many prevailing misconceptions about the nature of marriage and the family among non‐literate peoples may be traced to mid‐nineteenth‐century unilinear evolutionis…
An Experiment in Public-opinion Polling among Preliterate People
Opening ParagraphTowards the end of 1947 I carried out a public-opinion survey among the Cewa tribe of Fort Jameson district, Northern Rhodesia. Although the survey was a failure, judged by the rigorous standards of public-opinion polling, it nevertheless threw light on some of the problems that arise when public-opinion-polling techniques are adapted for use among preliterate peoples. Research of this kind has a place in assessing general morale…
The Social Context of Cewa Witch Beliefs
Opening ParagraphMost Cewa believe that certain persons are witches (mfiti, sing, and pl.) who impoverish, harm, or kill their fellow beings by using destructive magic and by performing supernatural feats of various kinds. That they are greatly preoccupied with this belief and its various implications is shown by the frequency with which they attribute death and misfortune to witchcraft, and by their related tendency to take precautions against p…
Another Modern Anti-Witchcraft Movement in East Central Africa
Opening ParagraphAs the title of this paper suggests, the movement described in it is not the first of its kind to have been recorded in Central Africa. About fourteen years ago Dr. Audrey I. Richards reported on a witchfinding movement associated with the Nyanja word mcape. (Local variations include mcapi, mucapi, &c.-referring to the medicine-and the Bemba called the medicine-vendors the Bamucapi
