Abstract
This work is a detailed description of Ovambo culture and society during a time when traditional practices were undergoing significant transformations due to the combined effects of colonial incorporation and Christian proselytization. It focuses on the Kuanyama, which the author describes as the demographically dominant and culturally most important the Ovambo tribes. Overarching themes include kingship, social relations, economic activities, and life cycle events. It concludes with descriptions of, and comparisons to, groups neighboring the Kuanyama (Kwanyama).
