Despite a quarter century of "nation building," most African states
are still driven by ethnic particularism--commonly known as
"tribalism." The stubborn persistence of tribal ideologies despite
the profound changes associated with modernization has puzzled
scholars and African leaders alike. The bloody hostilities between
the tribally-oriented Zulu Inkhata movement and supporters of the
African National Congress are but the most recent example of
tribalism's tenacity. The studies in this volume offer a new
historical model for the growth and endurance of such ideologies in
southern Africa.
