Dear colleagues,
could anyone refer me to any published work, in religion, ethnography/anthropology, or literature, that describes or refers to Yoruba ideas about the nature of  emadness or the character of the mad person. I would be grateful for any response. Please send directly to my address, if possible.
With much gratitude,
Chika
