The Majangir live on the thickly forested slopes of the
south-western edge of the Ethiopian plateau, between the Anuak of
the plains and the Galla of the highlands. Their way of life is
markedly different from that of their neighbours, and is well
adapted to their habitat. They are agriculturalists and the
structure of their society is loose and simple. They have no
political leaders, the only individuals of any authority being
ritual leaders whose influence is restricted. Domestic groups tend
to farm plots adjacent to those of friends or kin, but the
settlements remain small and constantly change in composition (as
well as in location). In addition to farming, in which the men and
women share the work, the men make occasional hunting and fishing
trips, as well as spending quite a considerable amount of time
tending and making bee hives. Dr Stauder examines the various
social and spatial groupings of Majang society and demonstrates the
intimate ecological relationship between these groupings and the
system of slash and burn cultivation practised by the Majangir.
