Bloomington, Ind. : Indiana University Press, ©2011. 1 online resource (vi, 366 pages) : illustrations, map text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Print version record. In Africa, where the birthrate of twins is among the highest in the world, twins can be seen as a burden to their families and a threat to the social order, or they can be seen as a gift from God and beings with unique abilities who bring about social harmony. Philip M. Peek and the contributors to this illuminating, multidisciplinary volume explore this rich cultural heritage by examining topics such as twins in artistic representation, twins and divination, and twins in performance, cosmology, religion. Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction : beginning to rethink twins / Philip M.
