| Abstract | The Fon live in the southern part of the People's Republic of Benin. They inhabit an area about the size of Connecticut. To this day, many Fon are farmers. They plant yams, corn, and cotton, and cultivate palm trees that produce palm oil. Ancient beliefs in spirits and natural powers (called vodun) that govern the world and provide a spiritual philosophy for living are still part of the Fon worldview, although many Fon have adapted the Christian faith. This article provides a brief history of the Fon and their art, along with discussion questions. (ERIC). |
