Power and the Praise Poem
The Comforts of Home
The Dead Will Arise
Of chameleons and paramount chiefs
The poetry of Jack Mapanje is of undoubted literary merit. But it also warrants consideration for the manner in which it intertwines with and comments upon the political situation in Malawi.

The Creation of Tribalism in Southern Africa
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 tr…

Mozambique's Chartered Companies
Pressed by rival imperial powers and financially weak herself, Portugal initiated in the 1890s an experiment in governing large areas of Mozambique cheaply through the means of two chartered companies, the Companhia do Niassa and the Companhia de Moçambique. This experiment proved doubly unsuccessful. In the first place the two companies failed to provide the development capital for Mozambique ardently desired by Portugal's government. Instead, t…

Between 1935 and 1960 a peculiar patterning of forced labour developed on Mozambique's lower Zambezi.
