Abstract

Dans les sociétés musulmanes du nord du Cameroun, si l'on ne peut dissocier l'élevage des caprins de celui des ovins, qui partagent les mêmes pâturages et intègrent le plus souvent les mêmes enclos, il en va autrement chez les groupes non musulmans voisins. Chez ces derniers, par suite d'une diffusion tardive des moutons, comme dans les monts Mandara, ces deux élevages demeurent à des degrés différenciés. Définis par des critères comportemen­taux, chèvres et moutons restent alors assignés à des modes de socialisation et à des rôles précis dans l'arsenal des rituels. La fonction dévolue à ces animaux sacrificiels a sans doute conforté la pratique dissociée de leurs élevages.
