Описание
This material is in depth and systematic. It is not fiction. It contains information of high value to the Kamba tribe. Most of the testimonies are first hand information from eye witnesses. The secrets of this community, by the use of idioms and proverbs made it difficult for strangers such as missionaries to understand them. Everything they did was for their education system which was meant to mould each individual to be true member of the Kamba tribe. This explains why the white missionaries took over 10 years before converting one person to Christianity. Therefore, when one understands the Akamba tribe through this work, in a way it is easy to understand all Bantu tribes in East Africa and beyond. This book is or may be the best on the topic. It has information which is comprehensive; of high value and a very systematic piece of work. This work covers fresh material from original sources.
