AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This dissertation gives a general description of the history, economy and religion of the Hausa village Tudú in the ARRONDIssEMENT of Madouai, Niger, 25 km. north of the Nigerian border. It discusses in detail the position of village chief. The chief receives his support through the high evaluation of the legitimacy of the ruler and the clever manipulation of tax collecting and conflict setting within the village. Kin and clan relations are of major importance. Pages 7-51 contain an extensive theoretical discussion of the background to the discussion.
