Description

Originally published in 1957, this landmark ethnographic study provides a comprehensive account of the Chiga, a Bantu farming people of Western Uganda distinguished by their absence of tribal organisation and caste systems unlike neighbouring East African cultures. The work examines their social structure, indigenous legal procedures, land and property rights, domestic life, economic practices, and religious beliefs with particular focus on the Nyabingi cult, a powerful spiritual movement that persisted until British suppression. Authored as part of Routledge's African Ethnographic Studies of the 20th Century series, this volume offers valuable comparative and historical insights into Chiga society and remains essential for understanding pre-colonial East African communities and their unique social arrangements.

Key Features

The Chiga of Western Uganda presents an in-depth ethnographic examination of Bantu farming communities in Uganda with comparative significance for African studies.

This volume documents indigenous legal systems and land rights among the Chiga people, providing detailed anthropological evidence of their property structures.

The study includes extensive analysis of the Nyabingi cult and its influence on Chiga religious beliefs and society before British colonial intervention.

Published as part of Routledge's African Ethnographic Studies of the 20th Century series, offering scholarly research for anthropology and sociology scholars.

The work covers domestic life, economic organisation, and social systems of the Chiga without tribal hierarchy, distinguishing them from neighbouring East African peoples.
