Good Company
Originally published in 1951 this book is a study of village system in southern Tanzania, which at the time of publication was thought to be unique. Each village consisted not of a group of kinsmen but an age-set: a group of male contemporaries, together with their wives and young children. The book is concerned with the structure of these villages and the values expressed in them
For Men and Elders
Originally published in 1977, this volume completes with a wealth of case material and against the background of a whole century, Monica Wilson's detailed study of the Nyakyusa-Ngonde people of Tanzania and Malawi. The unusual age-village system for which the Nyakyusa are well known has broken down under the economic presures of the prohibition of cattle raiding, lad shortage and labour migration and the changing values of the 20th century. The b…

The Value-Base of Social Anthropology
In keeping with its present state of theoretical and methodological development and the ever accumulating stock of empirical information, the role of social anthropology today is not merely to describe or to explain a phenomenon (or a set of phenomena). Proceedings sequentially by answering the three questions "What is it?", "How is it?", and "Why is it?", social anthropology should now be in a position to answer the fourth fundamental question i…
Zig-Zag Change
Opening ParagraphOne problem that besets students of society is how best to combine a study of change through time, with emphasis on the flow of time, and the detailed analysis of relationships; how to write a social history with sufficient detail on all the aspects of relationships-economic, legal, ritual, ideological-to satisfy the anthropologist. Static models are too far from reality to be useful, but how can one create a model that moves? Th…

Witch Beliefs and Social Structure
The witch beliefs of the Nyakyusa of Tanganyika and the Pondo of South Africa differ considerably. An attempts is made to relate these differences to the variations in the social structure of the two peoples. The Nyakyusa emphasis on lust for good food as the main incentive to witchcraft is connected with the fact that they live in age-villages, not kinship villages, while the Pondo emphasis on sex in witchcraft is related to their insistence on …
The early history of the Transkei and Ciskei
SYNOPSIS This paper outlines the evidence given in Portuguese records on Nguni‐speaking people who were living in the coastal districts of the Transkei and Ciskei in the 16th and 17th centuries, and discusses the traditions which indicate that Thembu, Xhosa, and Pondomise were on the upper reaches of the Mzimvubu for an indefinite time before they came down to the coast

Religion and the Transformation of Society. A Study in Social Change in Africa
When previously isolated societies come into contact with the outside world they undergo certain obvious changes. Professor Wilson has long been interested in these changes, particularly as they affect the peoples of Africa as they come into ever closer contact with European society. She sees, as the most general change going on in society, a change in scale, that is in the number of people interacting and the closeness of their interaction. In s…
