Geurts' intriguing book on the Anlo Ewe can be consulted via Google Books. A great deal of background information on Anlo-land and the Anlo Ewe can be found at pages 25 through 35. — mark ✎ 13:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Circumcision

The following comment was posted in the article:

CIRCUMCISION of NEWBORN ANLO EWE MALES is a CULTURAL REQUIREMENT of the ANLO TRADITION. Silvashadows 23:11, 17 September 2006 (UTC) Charles Sterling Beckley Silvashadows 23:11, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I have found no evidence of the truth of this comment (which doesn't mean it isn't true!), so I suggest to cite a source. — mark ✎ 10:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Note that I do know that circumcision is widespread among the Ewe peoples. It's just that we will need to cite a reliable source. I am currently looking for sources. — mark ✎ 18:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
