The Nature of Entrustment: Intimacy, Exchange, and the Sacred in Africa - Yale Agrarian Studies Series

Drawing on research among Luo people in western Kenya and abroad, this book examines how Luo assess obligations to intimates and strangers, including the dead and the not-yet-born. It focuses on nonmonetary forms of exchange and entrustment, moving beyond anthropology's traditional understanding of gifts, loans, and reciprocity.
