A collection of studies by key academics on ethnic identity in
Africa. The great virtue of this book is that it is the first major
study to focus exclusively on the historical evolution of ethnic
identity over a broad region from Zaire ... to South Africa.' -
John McCracken, University of Stirling US & Canada & the
Philippines: University of California Press
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.
Highly regarded for their interdisciplinary approach to the history
of central and southern Africa, Leroy Vail and Landeg White now
provide us with a thorough study of the political role of the poet
in the oral societies of southern Africa.
