Extractions: PRE-COLONIAL MIGRATIONS AND AGRICULTURAL CHANGE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF LAKE MALAWI Kings M. Phiri One of the commonest themes in the pre-colonial history of Malawi is that of how many of the ethnic groups whose homogeneity we take for granted today were apparently composed from the coming together over time of different streams of immigrants. The migrations in question, in other words, have been discussed and analysed in terms of their political consequences. In this paper, however, our primary concern is to explore the relationship which appears to have existed between such migrations, on the hand and socio-economic change in general and agricultural change in particular, on the other. The discussion is for ease of reference limited to what took place in the Malawi section of the Great Rift Valley from the fifteenth to late nineteenth century, using such archaeological, oral and written sources on the subject as have been readily available to the writer. Besides the famous Maravi migrations which took place at the beginning of the period with which the paper is concerned, there were three large-scale migrations or mass movements of people into the area along the western coast of Lake Malawi in pre-colonial times on which we shall be focusing. One was that of a people historically referred to as the Ngulube who migrated to the northwestern side of the lake from Ukinga or Kinga country on the northeastern side. The other was that of immigrants known as Balowoka (those who crossed over) who ended up occupying a number of areas between the middle and upper sections of the west coast of the lake after having migrated from such places as Uphangwa, Mwela and Liuli on the eastern side. And thirdly, there was the migration of the Arab-Swahili traders and their Nyamwezi and Yao allies from coastal areas of mainland Tanzania to several enclaves which they eventually created for themselves on the western side of the lake.

Malawi History People Malawi derives its name from the Maravi, a Bantu people who came from the southern Congo about 600 years ago. On reaching the area north of Lake Malawi, the Maravi divided. One branch, the ancestors of the present-day Chewas, moved south to the west bank of the lake. The other, the ancestors of the Nyanjas, moved down the east bank to the southern part of the country.

Extractions: This article joins the debate on culture, history and politics in postcolonial Malawi. Concentrating on the production of history in the 1960s, the paper shows how the decade marked the beginnings of serious research, teaching and public discourse of Malawi's history. It proceeds to examine factors, such as the existing literature, which helped to fashion the direction which the players, mainly teachers and researchers, took in accomplishing their tasks. In this connection the paper considers the manner in which Harry Johnston, the first person to write widely on the peoples of the Lake Malawi region, influenced the historiography of the country. It also evaluates the role of the Society of Malawi and its publication, the Society of Malawi Journal, in the production of history. Finally, the article pays attention to the ways in which the work of historians was affected by President Kamuzu Banda and the policies and actions of his ruling Malawi Congress Party. The situation at Independence in 1964 Sir Harry Johnston and the Lake Malawi region Johnston commented on other people of the region but mostly on those in the areas where the British were actively engaged in colonial expansion in the 1880s and 1890s. The Mang'anja, who inhabited most of the Shire Highlands and in whose territory many British were to settle, were presented as docile, agricultural communities whose life had been disrupted by the Yao. The Yao attempted to live peacefully with the Mang'anja, but their pursuit of agricultural activities and their desire for normal commercial relations with other peoples, including Europeans, barely received attention.12 In a way Johnson sought to give the impression that the arrival of the British saved the Mang'anja from total domination by the Yao and, therefore, that colonialism was a good thing for Africans of the area.

Extractions: BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages. 2 From this statement are excepted those tongues classified as semi-Bantu. In some languages of the Lower Niger and of the Gold Coast the word for fowl is generally traceable to a root kuba. This form kuba also enters the Cameroon region, where it exists alongside of -koko. Kuba may have arisen independently, or have been derived from the Bantu kuku. etymology of word-roots is concerned. Further evidence of slight etymological and even grammatical relationships may be traced as far west as the lower Niger and northern and western Gold Coast languages (and, in some word-roots, the Mandingo group). The Fula language would offer some grammatical resemblance if its suffixes were turned into prefixes (a change which has actually taken place in the reverse direction in the English language between its former Teutonic and its modern Romanized conditions; cf. offset and set-off, upstanding and standing-up ). The legends and traditions of the Bantu peoples themselves invariably point to a northern origin, and a period, not wholly removed from their racial remembrance, when they were strangers in their present lands. Seemingly the Bantu, somewhat early in their migration down the east coast, took to the sea, and not merely occupied the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar, but travelled as far afield as the Comoro archipelago and even the west coast of Madagascar. Their invasion of Madagascar must have been fairly considerable in numbers, and they doubtless gave rise to the race of black people known traditionally to the Hovas as the. Va-zimba.
