About this book

The trickster appears in the myths and folktales of nearly every traditional society. Robert Pelton examines Ashanti Fon Yoruba and Dogon trickster-figures in their social and mythical contexts and in light of contemporary thought exploring the way the trickster links animality and ritual transformation; culture sex and laughter; cosmic process and personal history; divination and social change.
