Skillful seducers, the máwari are trying to attract men to their world, to charm them, to dehumanize them and to reveal the máwari that every man carries. The máwari causes altered states of humanity, states of being ill, which in resistance to the seduction, men will use as a reaffirmation of their humanity. |
