Archaeology and Oral Tradition in Malawi

The Chewa are the largest ethnic group in Malawi, representing a third of the population. Yet the last book on the history of this group was published in 1944. This is the first book to use not only oral history, but also documents written by early Portuguese explorers, and archaeology, to piece together the early history of the Chewa.
