    Keywords: Chaga (African people) ; Law, Primitive ; Primitive societies ; Children--Africa ; Chaga language--Texts ; Kilimanjaro, Mount (Tanzania) ; Law, Chaga ; Customary law--Tanzania--Kilimanjaro ; Chaga (African people)--Social life and customs ; Dschagga ; Dschagga
    Abstract: The Chagga collection consists of documents in English (including two translations from the German, and one from Swahili), covering cultural, economic and historical information circa 1880 to early 2003. The most comprehensive works are by a missionary who lived with the Chagga for more than two decades in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Together, these books provide the first systematic attempts to understand pre-colonial Chagga culture and society with particular reference to customary law, religious life, social organization, and status of elders. The collection also includes two works which provide a general description of Chagga society and various customs by a British government official and a former native chief. The remaining works are ethnographic accounts by professional anthropologists. Specific themes covered include socialization and child-rearing practices, change and continuity in customary laws and aspects of divination

    Abstract: The Nyakyusa and Ngonde collection covers cultural, economic and historical information, circa 1875 to 1983. Most of the documents in the collection were written by the husband-wife team of Godfrey and Monica Wilson based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 1934-1938. The basic introduction to Nyakyusa society and culture is Godfrey Wilson's "An Introduction to Nyakyusa society". The information in this document is further enriched by the works of Monica Wilson which, together, provide a comprehensive first-hand account of Nyakyusa culture and society as observed in mid-1930s. Main themes covered in these works include social and economic structure of a Nyakyusa age-village, communal rituals related to burials, marriage, birth, misfortunes, etc, relationship of religion to Nyakyusa social structure, changes in generational and gender relations, and traditional land tenure systems. The collection also includes two other documents that focus on the Ngonde. These documents cover the traditional political structure of Ngonde society and aspects of socioeconomic change since 18th century. Finally, the collection also includes one essay which seeks to re-evaluate some of the key arguments in the earlier work by the Wilsons. The focus is on dynamics of kinship and chieftainship in age-villages, a uniquely Nyakyusa residence pattern in which a cohort of boys establish their own village settlement in previously uninhabited land

    Abstract: The Gond collection covers a broad range of ethnographic topics dating from approximately 1854 to 2006, with an emphasis on the Gond tribes of Bastar State. The primary document in this collection is Grigson dealing with the general ethnography of the Maria Gond, particularly the Hill and Bison Horn Maria tribal groups. Grigson's data are further supplemented by the ethnographic description of Gond cultural life in Fuchs, and in Elwin. The Grigson's, Elwin's, and Fuchs' studies, however, are limited in time depth to the early and mid-twentieth century. Other topics of ethnographic interest are: the description and analysis of the ghotul, a communal dwelling where the young people of the Gond villages live; murder and suicide among the Bison Horn Maria; genealogical studies of the Gond people in Bastar State; and sociocultural changes in Orcha village introduced by the Indian government

    Keywords: Arabs--Canada ; Araber ; Araber
    Abstract: Arab Canadians are first-generation Christian or Muslim Arabic-speaking immigrants and their descendants who originally came from the Arab world and have roots in Arabic culture. Arab Canadians can be found throughout Canada, although the largest communities are found in major cities, such as Montreal and Toronto. There are five documents in the Arab Canadians file. The two major works cover the immigrant history, assimilation, and acculturation of Arab Canadians in Canada and Lebanese and Syrian Canadians in Nova Scotia. Three shorter articles examine the changes in Lebanese-Canadian households and families, the persistence of traditional customs in an Edmonton, Alberta Druse community, and a Lebanese community in Lac La Biche, Alberta
