Good Company: A Study of Nyakyusa Age-Villages - Softcover
A study of a village system in Southern Tanganyika which is thought to be unique. Each village consists, not of a group of kinspeople, as in most primitive societies, but of an age-set--a group of contemporaries--together with their spouses and young children. The book is concerned with the structure of these villages and the values expressed in them.
