    Abstract:
    A group of men sit around a fire. In the trees that surround them hang African masks used in initiation. Before the fire, moving around the circle as he speaks, is an older man who tells what it is like to be a man. He especially tells of his relationship to his own father. The men in the circle grunt their approval or beat drums to express their emotions. © 1994 Oxford University Press.
