Originally published in 1935, when the province of Iringa in what
is now Tanzania was still under British administrative control,
this book is inevitably a product of its time, but nonetheless it
represents an important project in collaboration between an
anthropologist and a government official. Factors such as tribal
organization and changes of it to aid administration are discussed
as well as particular details relating to Hehe marriage and divorce
are also examined. With regard to the political organization of the
tribe the position of the headmen came under scrutiny as did the
existence and basis of local loyalties. A close study of the native
judicial system resulted in many mis-understandings between the
District Office and the tribal authorities.
