Description

May Edel's The Chiga of Uganda stands as a significant ethnographic work in the tradition of Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, and Leslie Spier, documenting the culture and society of the Chiga people during a critical period of cultural change. Written with the urgency to preserve traditional ways before contact with other cultures transformed them forever, this study represents Edel's commitment to capturing authentic perspectives directly from community members through fieldwork observation and inquiry. The book reflects the foundational anthropological approach of the era, prioritising first-hand documentation and the voices of the people themselves rather than external interpretation. This enlarged and amplified edition expands upon the original 1957 publication by Oxford University Press for the International African Institute, offering scholars, students, and anthropology enthusiasts a comprehensive resource for understanding Chiga social structures, customs, and historical context.

Key Features

The Chiga of Uganda by May Edel provides ethnographic documentation of Chiga society during a period of significant cultural transformation and outside influence.

This enlarged edition builds upon the original 1957 Oxford University Press publication, offering expanded content and additional research material.

Edel's work emphasises field-based observation and direct community perspectives, following the anthropological methods established by Boas, Mead, and Spier.

Published by Transaction Publishers and distributed by Routledge, this anthropology text serves as a foundational resource for African studies and cultural research.

The study captures traditional Chiga ways and practices with descriptive urgency, preserving cultural knowledge for academic and scholarly reference.
