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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236768276631,"sku":"9781611328912","price":14527.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781611328912.webp?v=1769214329","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/living-in-a-landscape-of-scarcity-materiality-and-cosmology-in-west-africa-9781611328912","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
