Abstract: | Presents an analysis of recent political events and processes in Gogo society up to about 1970. Emphasis lies on the extent to which the mwmbers of Gogo society are, and feel they can be, 'involved' in political activities in a field which goes beyond the bounds of the traditional Gogo political structures. Conclusion: that aspect of the field constituted by the traditional politico-religious system is at the moment the one which predominantly satisfies the values and orientations of the majority of the Gogo. But certain categories of people, including Gogo, are prepared to participate directly in the operation of the new structures, with varying degrees of involvement. Notes, ref., résumé en français. |
