The Power of Culture and Identity: Imbalu Initiation Ritual among the Bamasaaba of Uganda is a revised edition of Identity, Power, and Culture: Imbalu among the Bamasaaba which was first published in 2004 as part of the Bayreuth African Studies Series. While the first edition focused on Identity, Power and Culture, this new edition focuses on the Power of Culture and Identity. Since the publication of the first edition, more research has been done on different strands and dimensions of this rich cultural practice. Beginning with the general concept of ritual, the book explores the depths of the Masaba imbalu initiation ritual in particular. It vividly describes the seven phases of imbalu. The place and role of women in imbalu has been brought into sharp focus in this edition. The author exposes the intricate and subtle symbolism behind the personages, items, actions and gestures to reveal the underlying themes of identity and power, both personal and communal, interwoven in this riveting ritual culture of the Bamasaaba of Eastern Uganda.
