Woman-Marriage, with Special Reference to the Louedu-its Significance for the Definition of Marriage
Opening ParagraphThe marriage of a woman to a woman, found in many African societies, has not been given the attention it warrants, and is still imperfectly understood.

Folklore
Girls' Puberty Songs and their Relation to Fertility, Health, Morality and Religion among the Zulu
Opening ParagraphIn the tradition of van Gennep anthropologists have studied puberty rites mainly as rites of passage marking changes in status at the crises of life and, more recently, the role which these ceremonies play in the ordering and reordering of social relations. My purpose here is to approach Zulu puberty rites from a different angle: to examine them in the context of a system of beliefs and values underlying a whole group of ritual a…

The Social System of the Zulus
Changing Conditions in Marital Relations and Parental Duties among Urbanized Natives
Opening ParagraphEverywhere in Africa contact with the European is causing change and disturbance, institutional dislocation and disintegration. If Bantu society is to survive the shock, its disintegrating institutions must eventually resolve themselves into new or modified forms better suited to the changed conditions.
