Some Aspects Of Puberty Fasting Among The Ojibwa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428611535)

Some Aspects of Puberty Fasting Among the Ojibwa is a book written by anthropologist Paul Radin that explores the traditional practices of puberty fasting among the Ojibwa people, a Native American tribe. The book provides a detailed account of the rituals and beliefs surrounding puberty fasting, which is a rite of passage that marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. Radin describes the fasting process, which involves abstaining from food and water for several days, and the spiritual significance of the experience. He also examines the role of the community in supporting and guiding young people through this important stage of life. Overall, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural traditions of the Ojibwa people and sheds light on the importance of ritual and ceremony in human societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
