While a majority of studies are content to parrot this conclusion after long ethnographic accounts, especially important here is Durkheim's notion (and to some extent Weber's as well) that ritual offsets the structural strains in society caused by the competing interests of clan or lineage groups'.
Richards (1965) was among the first to identify in her analysis the explicit political implications these antinomies have for group cohesiveness and that, in the case of the Bemba, ritual was not an alternative to politics but a continuation of it by other means (Paige and Paige 1980: 43).
More recently, Kertzer (1988) has established the linkages between political action and the ritualized but secular, symbolic acts it largely consists of in modern societies.
