Memory and the Postcolony
Swazi Royal Ritual
IntroductionIn his Frazer Lecture of 1952, Rituals of Rebellion in South-East Africa (1954), Professor Max Gluckman considers certain types of ritual behaviour as institutionalized expressions of rebellion against authority. He maintains that this expression is an important function of such ritual. The following quotations present the gist of his interpretation:I shall therefore consider the social components of ceremonies, analogous to those whi…
Memory and the Postcolony
The moral imagination of the Kaguru
This essay questions some of the ways anthropologists employ the comparative method to understand the meaning of collective representations. To illustrate the argument, the category of trickster is examined for one East African people. Such anomalous figures serve didactically to stimulate the imagination which is essentially involved in moral rather than epistemological questions. It is argued that order and disorder, and indeed meaning, can be …
Social Theory and the Study of Christian Missions in Africa
Opening ParagraphIn the past anthropology was concerned with alien, exotic societies such as Indians, Africans, and Pacific Islanders. Today it is in vogue to do the anthropology of modern societies. Abroad this is termed the study of nation-building and development; at home it becomes the study of various sub-cultures with attention towards ethnic minorities and deviant groups rather than upon the more powerful and prominent segments of our soci…
Some Nuer Notions of Nakedness, Nudity, and Sexuality
Opening ParagraphAlthough the Nuer are generally described as 'naked', the ethnographic literature and photographs suggest that they hold certain notions about 'nakedness' and 'nudity' which prescribe wearing or not wearing certain garments or ornaments in certain social situations. Some of these notions seem closely related to important Nuer conceptual categories of their social groups and their world, especially those related to sexuality, marr…

The Blood Covenant and the Concept of Blood in Ukaguru
Opening ParagraphThe problem of the nature of the blood covenant (also called blood pact or blood brotherhood) still awaits adequate detailed comparative analysis. This is unfortunate since detailed consideration of such practices would be interesting in itself and might also provide valuable means for understanding some of the notions of physiology, kinship, magic, and alliance in the societies in which this institution exists. A blood covenant …

In this article I present a second, similar tale which deals with the same characters and which provides additional illustration of some of the points I tried to make in my earlier work.This folktale is in Chikaguru, the language spoken by the Kaguru, a matrilineal Bantu people living in northern Kilosa an…

Right and Left Hand among the Kaguru
Opening Paragraph This paper presents the general features of dualistic symbolic classification among the Kaguru, a Bantu people of east-central Tanganyika, East Africa. It has been written as a result of my reading Needham's stimulating article, ‘The Left Hand of the Mugwe’, which recently appeared in Africa . Using Bernardi's ethnographic data on the Meru, Needham isolates a dualistic symbolic classification of those people. The result is a ver…
Ambiguous animals
Opening ParagraphThis paper deals with certain metaphorical uses of animals in the folklore of the Kaguru, a Bantu language speaking people of east-central Tanzania, East Africa. I have published elsewhere on Kaguru social structure (Beidelman, 1971b) and discuss this here only as it bears directly on the problems at hand. I have published many Kaguru folk-tales as well as various legends, riddles, and other texts (cf. bibliographies, Beidelman, …

This paper has two purposes: (1) to consider certain aspects of the concept of “legal fiction”; (2) to indicate some of the means by which a local African court avoids the potential conflict between African customary law and European law

Kaguru Omens
for these various types of phenomena might perhaps all be translated as omens, but such a categorisation would obscure certain important differences between them.2 To understand these differences is to gain insight into certain values of Kaguru society and to make sense of Kaguru conduct which otherwise might well appear inexplicable and irrational. The Kaguru are matrilineal Bantu cultivators inhabiting east

Intertribal Tensions In Some Local Government Courts In Colonial Tanganyika
This paper is a sequel to one published in Anthropos (Beidelman, 1961f). It is mainly concerned with the interrelations between various tribal groups in so far as these provide insight into some of the inherent difficulties in the policy of Indirect Rule in an African political unit. By such an analysis I hope to support further a contention long made by many critics of past colonial policy, viz ., that Indirect Rule was workable only through a s…

Intertribal Tensions in Some Local Government Courts in Colonial Tanganyika
In order to illustrate the operation of the system, I consider various court cases in more detail.2 I begin with two cases involving Kaguru and two other tribal groups which are minorities in Kaguru-land, the Gogo and Kamba. The Gogo are a minority whose lands border the Kaguru to the west. There are some Gogo residing in every court area of Kaguru-land. In many court cases, Gogo are treated in a manner similar to that of any Kaguru so unfortunat…
