Description

Explore a detailed ethnographic study of the Nyakyusa-Ngonde people of Tanzania and Malawi. Originally published in 1977, Monica Wilson provides a deep look at the changing relations between generations and between men and women from 1875 to 1971. This volume serves as a complete record of social shifts occurring over a full century. Readers will learn how the unique age-village system of the Nyakyusa changed due to economic pressures. The text examines specific factors like the prohibition of cattle raiding, labor migration, and a shortage of lads. By tracing these roots, the book explains social developments that are seen in many parts of Africa. It provides a clear view of the non-linear path of social change through extensive case material and historical context.
