I realize this is wayyy too late (talk about time), but i came across great description and explanation of the concept of time in African cultures by Ryszard Kapuscinski in his 'The shadow of the sun'. Anyway, best of luck, Janset Sat, 14 Jul 2007 17:39:55 GMT http://cultanthro.tribe.net/thread/8d2e5cb6-fd49-4e15-b308-7fdde674ed52#a64a05c9-8b61-49e9-8625-6eb1b24d38da Janset 2007-07-14T17:39:55Z http://cultanthro.tribe.net/thread/8d2e5cb6-fd49-4e15-b308-7fdde674ed52#b7e465a3-afeb-4fe3-b242-06ec31c7fe47 Thanks for the reference Otter, I'm on it and I look forward to turning the pages!!

I am sieving through some titles now but the list generally for the significance of time in other cultures is humongous, especially since they are usually paragraphs to pages worth in ethnographies, but none too specific. Therefore any help or advice from your experiences would be well and truly appreciated. Thanks!!
