Routledge - The Tio Kingdom of The Middle Congo: 1880-1892

Explore a detailed historical reconstruction of the Tio kingdom during a transformative era. Originally published in 1973, this scholarly work provides a deep look into the political and economic organization and the social life of the Tio people at the end of the 19th century. By using a critical synthesis of documentary and ethnographic data, the text examines the lasting features of Tio social organization and political relations. It also tracks the economic shifts linked to the growth and eventual decline of caravan trading at Stanley Pool. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in African ethnographic studies and the history of the Middle Congo region. The content is supported by maps, tables, and diagrams to help clarify the historical and social structures discussed throughout the study.
