The Ovimbundu live in the Benguela Highlands (Bíe Plateau) of Angola. They are agricultural and the villages are moved when the soil is exhausted.

Ethnographies are included as well as a collection of Ovimbundu folktales; information on the history of the Wambu Kingdom; cultural history and political economy from the early contact period up to the civil war (2000); the Bailunda War (1902-4); magic, spiritual beliefs, divination and curing practices; and social and economic change resulting from the colonial encounter
