Klappentext zu „Stabilizing Society “
In all rural communities the world over, there are beliefs, sayings and practices with which the people organize and control their lives. These beliefs, sayings and practices are commonly known as folklore. This is mostly obtained among the illiterates whose level of education and financial muscle are at the lowest ebb. The Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria are no exemptions. The people so believe in many things that the researcher only forced himself to limit his collections to about 1,500 entries. These their beliefs in many things make them to give interpretations to almost everything which they do not easily understand. With these beliefs, they so organize themselves that certain social evils are brought to the minimum. But then, these superstitions contain all that was ever thought and known among the people. In them can be found scientific thoughts which the modern people can study and in this way enlarge human discoveries. In view of the usefulness of folklore, the present researcher had to interview many people and study a lot of books so as to come up with this work.
