Book Description:
In this book a leading Africanist presents the first full length anthropological account of the Swahili and offers an original analysis of their little understood and unusual culture. Drawing on his own field research and on earlier writings on the Swahili, Middleton describes this centuries old mercantile culture its local and descent groupings, marriage patterns, religion, and values and shows how their sense of their unique identity enables them to persist as an ongoing civilization despite many years of colonization.
