Description

Explore a detailed ethnographic study of the Sukuma people, the largest ethnic group in Tanzania. Originally published in 1953, this Routledge volume provides a deep look into the territory of Sukumaland, focusing on how land is used and managed. Readers gain insight into the resources, tenure systems, and specific problems faced by the region during the 20th century. This book goes beyond land use to examine the social structure of the Sukuma people. It covers the organization of their society and the specific functions of both hereditary and elected authorities. You can also learn about the religious connections to cattle ownership and landholding. Supported by numerous diagrams and maps, this text serves as a foundational resource for those interested in African social sciences, anthropology, and the history of land management in Tanganyika.
