In her close ethnography of a Dogon village of Mali, Laurence Douny
shows how a microcosmology develops from people's embodied daily
and ritual practice in a landscape of scarcity. Viewed through the
lens of containment practice, she describes how they cope with the
shortage of material items central to their lives--water, earth,
and millet. Douny's study is an important addition to ecological
anthropology, to the study of West African cultures, to the
understanding of material culture, and to anthropological theory.
