Meyer Fortes (1906-1982) was one of the foremost anthropologists of this
century, who for many years worked among the Tallensi of northern Ghana.
Although he published seminally important monographs on Tallensi family
and kinship and on political organization, his work on their religion
has hitherto remained confined to disparate journals and edited volumes.
This collection brings together in one place his major writings on
religion.
