James W. Fernandez is a Professor Emeritus at The University of Chicago, Department of Anthropology. He has published extensively on the rhetorical imagination including the prize winning ethnography, Bwiti: An Ethnography of the Religious Imagination in Africa (Princeton, 1982).
From twilight in the Himalayas to dream worlds in the Serbian state, this book provides a unique collection of anthropological and cross-cultural inquiry into the power of rhetorical tropes and their relevance to the formation and analysis of social thought and action through a series of ethnographic essays offering in-depth studies of the human imagination at work and play around the world.
