Description

Originally published in 1977, this landmark anthropological study examines the Nyakyusa-Ngonde people of Tanzania and Malawi across a full century of social transformation. Monica Wilson's detailed research traces how the distinctive age-village system, for which the Nyakyusa are historically renowned, deteriorated under economic pressures including cattle raiding prohibition, land scarcity, and labour migration. The volume presents extensive case material documenting the generational and gender relations shifts that reshaped this East African society. Wilson's analysis reveals patterns of social change replicated across many African regions, emphasising the non-linear, unpredictable trajectory of cultural transformation during the 20th century. This work remains essential for understanding how traditional institutions adapt and dissolve when confronted with modernisation and economic constraints.
