E. Terray-A Religions Reform Movement in Pre-Colonial Gyaman: The Sakrobundi Cuit. Contrary to a widely held opinion, revitalisation cuits and religious and moral revivais are not restricted to the colonial period. A movement of this type occurred in the Brong kingdom of Gyaman during the last quarter of the igth century, before European settlement in the country. The cuit of genius Sakrobundi, spreading in the decade 1870-1880, appears as an attempt toward a global renovation of belief and mores. First introauced following a disruption of the traditional process of witcheraft control, it was openly supported by the king and chiefs. Its primary aim was to redress this process, but Sakrobundi very soon became a 'guardian' of public morals. This success is linked up with the social, economie and political upheaval which overtook Gyaman when Asante domination ended, from 1874 on. [pp. 143-176
