Kings and Clans. Ijwi Island and the Lake Kivu Rift,1780–1840.

£9.00

“Kings and Clans” questions the assumption that “clans”,as traditionally defined by anthropologists and historian,are static structures that hamper political centralization.By reconstucting the history of kings and clans in the Kivu Rift Valley(on the border of todays Rwanda and zaire) at a time of critical social change,David Newbury enlarges our understanding of social process and the growth of state power in Africa.
