A group of Chagga-speaking men descend the slopes of Mount
Kilimanjaro to butcher animals and pour milk, beer, and blood on
the ground, requesting rain for their continued existence.
Returning Life explores how this event engages activities where
life force is transferred and transformed to afford and affect
beings of different kinds. Historical sources demonstrate how the
phenomenon of life force encompasses coffee cash-cropping, Catholic
Christianity, and colonial and post-colonial rule, and features in
cognate languages from throughout the area. As this vivid
ethnography explores how life projects through beings of different
kinds, it brings to life concepts and practices that extend through
time and space, transcending established analytics.
