Edna G. Bay is Associate Professor at the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts at Emory University and is the editor of several books in African studies.
A truly mature work of scholarship, Wives of the Leopard blurs the divisions between political and social history, between ritual studies and military history, between anthropology and history. Edna Bay challenges existing interpretations, advancing our knowledge of Dahomey and suggesting questions and paths to pursue in the study of other political systems in Africa and other parts of the world.--Beverly J. Stoeltje, Indiana University
