Over the extended gestation period of this volume, a number of debts have been acquired. I thank Ivan Karp for his continual encouragement and the many others, most especially my collaborators, who have persevered to complete this project. Our thanks to the editors at Indiana University Press and to various readers, most especially Paula Girshick Ben-Amos, for many helpful suggestions. I am grateful for several Drew University Faculty Research grants which supported the manuscript preparation and for Deborah Cahalen's aid in preparing the final draft. Inevitably, one must acknowledge the patience of one's spouse and family"Hey! How does this sound?" can only be asked so many times. Thank you, Pat, Megan, and Nathan. Finally, my sincere appreciation to my colleagues without whose work and forbearance there would be no book for which to offer acknowledgments. With our dedication to William Bascom, we salute his thoughtful and thorough pioneering research on Yoruba divination systems. My thanks to one and all. |
