AB An article is focused on the approach to the people with albinism in sub-Saharan Africa, in particular in Tanzania where I was doing field research. That approach was transformed during time and during socio-economical changes into the shape which shows elements of fetishism. I mean, specifically, assigning of inseparable values and powers to the body parts of people with albinism. I was doing my etnographical research since december 2015 till may 2016.
