'Here, the antithesis of "slavery" is not "freedom" qua autonomy but rather "belonging." '

 

--Kopytoff and Miers, 1977

 

(quoted in ' "Tok Af, Lef Af": A Political economy of Temne Techniqes of Secrecy and Self ' by Rosalind Shaw)

 

"From our harvest we bake bread; and when we eat the bread, we gain strength to plough our fields. From our cattle we take milk; and when we drink the milk, we gain energy to tend our herds. May our harvests always be plentiful, and our cattle always be healthy."

 

--Nandi, Kenya

 

"Wherever my people dig, may your earth be kind to them; when they entrust their seeds to the earth, may the soil in that place be fertile. Wherever my people seek wood, may your trees fall easily under their axes; when they cut the trunks into the shapes they require, may the wood be soft to chisel. Wherever my people go for water, may your streams be full and clear; when they quench their thirst, may the taste of water be sweet. May your earth, your trees, and your streams express your love for your sons and daughters."

 

--Didinga, Sudan
