As suggested by the title, "Uwa Nde Emu", is indeed about "the world of Emu people". It is a first hand ethnographic study that provides a careful documentation of the way of life of the indigenous community of Emu. Using emic perspective, the work insightfully traces the historical origins of the people and describes their political structure as basis for contextualizing and explicating their social life and religious worldview. It shows how the community is adapting its various cultural institutions, especially its religious institutions to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing society.
