Damned in-laws and other problems
|

Abstract:
Damned in-laws are not the only problems the Gbeya have. They are, like human beings in every corner of the world and throughout all time, burdened by death and disease, beset by misunderstanding and strife, anxious because of a shortage of food and the means to acquire enough of it. Existentially, man's capacity to conceive problems is infinite; culturally, he is selective. There is a limit to what is thought about and talked about. A leaky roof in a grass-thatched Gbeya house is nothing by comparison with a cantankerous father in-law.
