Teenage Circumcision Celebrations in the Bush

Dear Sue,
The second trip I made to Mbadi has been a completely different experience – for not to say adventure. It opened my eyes to new categories I might operate with in the analysis phase of my work. I managed to get close to the field in a way I never imagined. The last couple of weeks have been intense on the personal as well as the professional level. I have crossed some personal and cultural barriers which I now doubt whether I should have crossed – but enough with the introduction, here comes the story – and before you go on, if you have a weak heart it will be best to stop reading here and ask me to mail a more censored version.
