AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
These two essays set out to, first, challenge the concept of communal-owned property in view of evidence from Barotseland (now Zambia) and elsewhere in southern Bantu groups and, second, deal with specific prerogatives of the king regarding tribute and 'kingly goods.' The author outlines the pattern of distribution of Barotse property to all homesteads, the king's protection of subjects' right to a piece of land, and the forms of tribute and gifts from commoners to royalty. Gluckman is concerned especially with the theoretical question of primitive communism as it appears in the light of individual property rights.
