Kings and clans : Ijwi Islands and the Lake Kivu Rift, 1780-1840
David Newbury (Author)
Questions the assumption that ""clans"" are static structures that hamper political centralization. By reconstructing the history of kings and clans in the Kivu Rift Valley at a time of social change, this book enlarges our understanding of social process and the growth of state power in Africa.
