Eyes of the Night: Witchcraft among a Senegalese people

This book is based upon fieldwork among the Badyaranke of the village of Tonghia in Senegal. To the people of Tonghia, who so graciously looked after me during those many months, I owe my greatest debt. Witchcraft was not an easy subject to explore, and I would have learned very little had it not been for my principal research assistant, Kamara Abdullae Emile. Since witchcraft was a dark subject to the Badyaranke, a number of details and names in the case histories have been changed.
