Description

This landmark ethnographic study, originally published as part of the renowned Ethnographic Survey of Africa series (1950-1977), provides comprehensive documentation of the Western Lacustrine Bantu peoples including the Nyoro, Toro, Nyankore, Kiga, Haya, and Zinza, with additional sections on the Amba and Konjo. Routledge has reissued this essential reference work in association with the International African Institute, preserving critical historical scholarship on East Central African ethnic groupings and social conditions. The survey covers physical environment, linguistic data, demography, historical traditions of origin, nomenclature, cultural features including religion and witchcraft practices, birth and initiation rituals, burial customs, and social and political organisation encompassing kinship systems. Originally compiled when such coordinated anthropological material was scarce, this volume remains a valuable academic resource for researchers, students, and scholars studying African peoples, cultural anthropology, and regional history.

Key Features

The Western Lacustrine Bantu ethnographic survey documents six major ethnic groups across East Central Africa with detailed cultural and social information.

This Routledge reissue brings together previously uncoordinated anthropological material originally published between 1950 and 1977 by the International African Institute.

Comprehensive sections cover physical environment, linguistic data, demography, history, nomenclature, religion, witchcraft, birth rituals, initiation ceremonies, and burial practices.

Social and political organisation sections examine kinship systems and traditional governance structures of the Nyoro, Toro, Nyankore, Kiga, Haya, and Zinza peoples.

Part XIII of the Ethnographic Survey of Africa series provides critical historical documentation suitable for academic research and cultural anthropology studies.
