The Gurage : A People of the Ensete Culture Paperback / softback
by William A. Shack
Part of the African Ethnographic Studies of the 20th Century series
Paperback / softback
Description
Originally published in 1966 this study gives a detailed account of all aspects of Gurage life.
An introductory chapter on South-West Ethiopia and the history of the area is followed by descriptions of Gurage settlements, ensete (banana-like plants) cultivation, kinship and marriage, the political system and religious organization.
The author's fieldwork and discussions with many resident and migrant Gurage in Addis Ababa enabled him to provide a valuable account of a hitherto little known people and ethnographic area.
