Extract

The January number of Africa (vol. v, no. 1) contained an outline of a new field of anthropological research—African society as it is changing in contact with the forces of western civilization. Such forces can obviously be divided into two main categories: (a) the direct influence on tribal law and custom which is exerted by Government and missionaries through education, or administrative enactment; and (b) the indirect influence of changed economic conditions either in the area affected, or in the world at large—including such factors as the opening up of the country by roads and railways, the introduction of new currencies and standards of economic value, industrial developments such as mining, and lastly the changing world markets for African goods.

page 140 note 1 It is difficult for me to express fully my gratitude to the members of this mission for the help they gave me in this, and other branches of my study. I would like to mention particularly Mère Séraphine and Père Roy of the Chilubula Mission, and Pères Étienne and Guillemé of the Chalonga station. I was also greatly helped by Mr. R. MacMinn of the Church of Scotland Mission at Lubwa, who most generously allowed me the use of his unpublished notes, and by Colonel and Mrs. Gore-Brown of Shiwa Ngandu, also good authorities on Chibemba and native custom in general.
