  MARY DOUGLAS: Purity & Danger (1966): Zande Poison Oracle
The existence of such a category would in turn suggest that in their terms the Azande were being perfectly consistent intellectually when they spoke to the poison oracle.
We get the impression in the paragraph Douglas devotes to it that the Zande practice, like others discussed in the piece, was an ordeal, that is, a poison was administered directly to the person accused of witchcraft.
We shall eventually consider the Zande poison oracle further on the bytrentplus companion site as part of the exploration of ritual that is under way there.

  Azande
The Zande, whose homelands lie within three modern African states (Republic of the Sudan, Zaire, Central African Republic), constitute a large and complex amalgam of originally distinct ethnic groups, united by culture and, to a considerable extent, by political institutions and by language.
The Zande were formed by military conquest, beginning probably in the first half of the eighteenth century; they were led by two different dynasties that were similar in organization yet differed in origin and political strategy.
It is important to the Zande that organic witchcraft, mangu, may be transmitted by a man to some of his sons and by a woman to some of her daughters.

The Zande migrated during the 18th century from Sudan to the northern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, settling on the banks of the Uele River.
In political terms, this ethnic group of 750,000 people is ruled by a king with succession to the throne passing to his eldest son, while the younger ones govern the kingdom's provinces.
The maternity figures are also known, as are stylized and refined objects: neck-rests, flyswats, ivory horns, and musical instruments such as drums, sanzas, and curved harps decorated with a head and ending with a pair of legs.

The Zande total 750,000 and live in northeast Zaire, the Central African Republic, and the Sudan, on the banks of the Ucle River.
In addition to a cult devoted to royal ancestors, the Zande have complex funerary rites and on many occasions use oracles of poison.
According to Francois Neyt (I981), despite their different artistic styles, the Zande and Mangbetu are so intermixed that the cultural influence of the Mangbetu preponderates.

 Performance of Flowmeters in I&I Study Delights R.D. Zande
At Zande, emphasis is placed on continuously updating their flow monitoring equipment inventory with the latest technology in an effort to keep pace with technological advances which in turn provides Zande with quality data upon which to develop their models.
According to John Barton, Zande Project Manager, “The most accurate model developed to date is only as good as the quality of data used to create it.” Recognizing the uniqueness of each flow monitoring application, Zande recognizes the importance of evaluating the individual site parameters for each monitoring location including computerized mapping and hydraulic modeling.
Additionally he states, “Zande was very familiar with Marsh-McBirney flow instrumentation and especially preferred to use the meters for applications that included extreme conditions such as low or submerged flows.

 IMPAAC- Authors, Jeff Vande Zande
Jeff Vande Zande paints an eloquent portrait of this absolute desolation with great care in his debut novel, the tale of a man who finds himself apart from society, driven to desperation by personal tragedy.
The title of Jeff Vande Zande's debut novel, Into the Desperate Country, aptly refers to Thoreau's statement in Walden; that "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." The desperation of life on the assembly-line drives the hero, Stanley, to his own Walden, a cabin by a river near Gaylord, Michigan.
Vande Zande does a magnificent job of laying out the maze of thought patterns as Stanley figures out how to get out of the corner he has painted himself into.

 Zande Orientation
The Zande, whose homelands lie within three modern African states (Republic of the Sudan, Zaire, Central African Republic), constitute a large and complex amalgam of originally distinct ethnic groups, united by culture and, to a considerable extent, by political institutions and by language.
In terms of Greenberg's categories (1963), the Zande language belongs to the Eastern Branch of the Adamawa-Eastern Language Family in the Niger-Congo Group; a newer classification places Zande within the Ubangi Branch of the Adamawa-Ubangi Group.
Zande and Nzakara speech forms are mutually comprehensible, although these languages differ in some 30 percent of their lexicon.

 Transient Review
Vande Zande writes of the separateness of drivers, who can know nothing of other drivers except “the outlines their headlights shape…like the silhouettes // that trudge the miles of gravel and dirt/ eclipsed on the other side of the pylons.” (Interstate Travel).
Vande Zande also knows that in many ways he is more fortunate than men of previous generations, such as his father whose “hands / with frostbitten, open palms / look nothing like my own, warm // and closed over the steering wheel.” (South Michigan Interstate, Near Detroit).
Jeff Vande Zande’s work deserves a much wider audience, and it is this reviewer’s hope that sooner rather than later it will find that audience.
