About this ebook
This book is an enlarged and amplified edition of the "The Chiga of Western Uganda," originally published in 1957. The volume provides a special insight into a culture at that time (1933) still intact under the British protectorate. Where significant changes were already taking place, the various changes are discussed in the contexts in which they seemed relevant-in social structure, kinship, marriage, economies, social control, religion and education, and material culture. What makes this edition unique is a new segment on material culture, previously unpublished. Edel's concrete yet wide-ranging descriptions provide an irreplaceable insight into a people and a culture at a unique point in world and colonial history.
