Kalonga Gawa Undi X
Author: Walima Tuesday Kalusa
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 9982997254
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
This study reconstructs the life history of Paramount Chief Kalonga Gawa Undi X of the Chewa speaking people of Zambia's Eastern Province. Born in 1931, he played a key role in the nationalist movement in Zambia (formerly Northern Rhodesia) in the late 1950s and early 1960s and participated in the constitutional talks in England at the height of the struggle for political freedom. Throughout his life, he successfully fought to preserve the power and authority of traditional leaders, thereby confounding attempts by both colonial governments and African urban elites to undermine chiefly prerogative and power. With this study, the author asks us to rethink the standard historical accounts of the role of traditional leaders in African independence.

A History of the Tumbuka from 1400 to 1900
Author: Yizenge Chondoka
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499096283
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
This is the first book on the history of the Tumbuka that traces their origin from the Luba Kingdom in the present Democratic Republic of Congo to where they are settled today. It details their leaders, the routes they used, the kingdom they formed, and the many cultural practices they have followed, and how from the eighteenth century, their kingdom was invaded and ruled by many non-Tumbuka ethnic groups that were eventually absorbed in their culture. “The study was overdue. Fortunately, the delay has been rewarded because the duty of doing this important work fell in good hands . . . The book improves our understanding of the Tumbuka in the twentieth century and beyond . . . Probably the strongest strength of the book is that the general reader and the specialist will find it easy to read.”—Professor Ackson Kanduza, History Department, University of Swaziland.

Malawi is a landlocked country located in southeastern Africa. It is one of the smallest countries on the African continent, with a total population of around 19.13 million people.

Malawi is known for its natural beauty, including Lake Malawi, which is the third-largest lake in Africa and the ninth-largest lake in the world. Malawi was previously known as Nyasaland, a British protectorate. The country gained independence in 1964 and has since become a democratic republic with a multi-party political system. Malawi's economy is predominantly agricultural, with a large portion of the population involved in subsistence farming. Despite some economic progress in recent years, Malawi is considered one of the poorest countries in the world, with high levels of poverty, unemployment, and gender inequality.
