Originally published in 1977, this volume completes with a wealth
of case material and against the background of a whole century,
Monica Wilson's detailed study of the Nyakyusa-Ngonde people of
Tanzania and Malawi. The unusual age-village system for which the
Nyakyusa are well known has broken down under the economic presures
of the prohibition of cattle raiding, lad shortage and labour
migration and the changing values of the 20th century. The book
traces the roots of these developments which are parallelled in
many parts of Africa and emphasize the zig-zag nature of the path
of social change.
