Gores , Osmund M. Kapinga ABSTRACT This paper focused on the examination of the evolution of the Sukuma marriage conduct in the traditional setting and the influence which the Roman Catholic Church exerted on the Sukuma traditional marriage practices. The different forms and procedures of traditional marriages practiced among the Sukuma before the introduction of Christianity in the nineteenth century are explored. Several studies had been conducted on how traditional marriage institutions among the Sukuma were sustained despite the penetration of Christianity. Others investigated on how Christianity of different denominations in general affected the Sukuma marriage practices. This study, therefore, focused on how the Roman Catholic Church influenced the Sukuma traditional marriage. Despite its strong roots in Magu district none of the studies investigated its influence on traditional marriage institutions. A historical research methodology was employed in which different historical sources both primary and secondary were visited. Secondary sources were collected through a review of documents from libraries and different resource centers. The bulky primary information was accessed from archival sources. The existing oral histories kept by local Sukuma historians were accessed by visiting their custodians. The data generated revealed that the coming of Roman Catholic Church and the subsequent introduction of Christianity among the Sukuma introduced Christian marriage which threatened the existence of Sukuma traditional marriages.

When asked to identify the causes of language change, historical linguists usually give us internal explanations (Lass 1997: 209), while contact linguists specifically focus on external factors such as borrowing, interference, metatypy and others (Weinreich 1963, Ross 1999, Thomason 2001). Among these external factors, the contact-induced grammaticalization theory pioneered by Heine & Kuteva (2003, 2005) is particularly well-suited to explain the grammatical changes undergone by the languages in South China (F. Wu 2009a, Kwok 2010, D. Qin 2012, Y. Huang & Kwok 2013, Kwok et al.
  • Nation Building and Public Goods in Kenya Versus Tanzania

    Nation Building and Public Goods in Kenya Versus Tanzania

    TRIBE OR NATION? Nation Building and Public Goods in Kenya versus Tanzania By EDWARD MIGUEL* I. INTRODUCTION HE design of public policies that promote interethnic cooperation Tremains poorly understood nearly twenty years after the appear- ance of Horowitz's seminal work.1 Recent research suggests that ethni- cally diverse societies are prone to corruption, political instability, poor institutional performance, and slow economic growth and that in the United States higher levels of diversity are related to lower provision of local public goods across municipalities. Addressing ethnic divisions is likely to be particularly important for Africa, the most ethnically di- verse and poorest continent. This article examines how central government nation-building poli- cies affect interethnic cooperation, by comparing the relationship be- tween local ethnic diversity and public goods across two nearby rural districts, one in western Kenya and one in western Tanzania, using colonial-era national boundary placement as a "natural experiment." Despite their largely shared geography, history, and colonial institu- tional legacy, governments in Kenya and Tanzania have followed radi- cally different ethnic policies along a range of dimensions—most notably in national language policy, the educational curriculum, and local institutional reform—with Tanzania consistently pursuing the more serious nation-building policies during the postcolonial period. The empirical evidence in this article suggests that the Tanzanian nation-building approach has allowed
  • Typological Interaction in the Qinghai Linguistic Complex

    Typological Interaction in the Qinghai Linguistic Complex

    TYPOLOGICAL INTERACTION IN THE QINGHAI LINGUISTIC COMPLEX Juha Janhunen The Gansu or Hexi Corridor in the Upper Yellow River region forms the natural contact zone between four major cultural and linguistic realms: China þroper) in the east, Mongolia in the north, Turkestan in the west, and Tibet in the south. Populations and languages from these four regions have since ancient times penehated into Gansu, where they have been integrated into the local network of ethnolinguistic variation. In particular, the fragmentated landscape of the southem part of the region, historically known as the Amdo (Written TibetanxA.mdo)Pro- vince of Tibet and today mainly administered as the Qinghai Province of China, has recurrently provided a refuge for intrusive populations speaking a variety of different tongues. The greatest diversity of languages is found in a relatively small territory located to the east and north of Lake Qinghai, or Kuku Nor (Written Mongol Guiganaqhur), areas today known as Haidong and Haibei, respectively. A general characteristic of all the languages involved is that they have undergone rapid differentiation as compared with their genetic relatives spoken elsewhere. At the same time, they have developed conìmon features shared areally across genetic boundaries. Moreover, many of these common features are structurally so import- ant and typologically so idiosyncratic that it is well motivated to view them as manifestations of a single areal entity. This entity may be termed the Qinghai Linguistic Complex, or also the Qinghai Sprachbund. Other equally possible names include the Amdo Sprachbund, the Amdo Linguistic Region, or the Yellow River Plateau Language Union. Geographically it has to be noted that the Qinghai Linguistic Complex is not fully congruous with the borders of Qinghai Province, nor with those of the historical Amdo Province of Tibet.

    Appendix 1. a Brief Description of China's 56 Ethnic Groups

    Appendix 1. A Brief Description of China’s 56 Ethnic Groups Throughout history, race, language and religion have divided China as much as physical terrain, political fiat and conquest.1 However, it is always a politically sensitive issue to identify those non-Han people as different ethnic groups. As a result, the total number of ethnic groups has never been fixed precisely in China. For example, in 1953, only 42 ethnic peoples were identified, while the number increased to 54 in 1964 and 56 in 1982. Of course, this does not include the unknown ethnic groups as well as foreigners with Chinese citizenship.2 Specifically, China’s current 56 ethnic groups are, in alphabetical order, Achang, Bai, Baonan, Blang, Buyi, Dai, Daur, Deang, Derung, Dong, Dongxiang, Ewenki, Gaoshan, Gelao, Han, Hani, Hezhe, Hui, Jing, Jingpo, Jino, Kazak, Kirgiz, Korean, Lahu, Lhoba, Li, Lisu, Manchu, 1 The text is prepared by Rongxing Guo based on the following sources: (i) The Ethnic Minorities in China (title in Chinese: “zhongguo shaoshu minzu”, edited by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (SEAC) of the People’s Republic of China and published in 2010 by the Central Nationality University Press, Beijing) and (ii) the introductory text of China’s 56 ethnic groups (in Chinese, available at http://www.seac.gov.cn/col/col107/index.html, accessed on 2016–06–20). 2 As of 2010, when the Sixth National Population Census of the People’s Republic of China was conducted, the populations of the unknown ethnic groups and foreigners with Chinese citizenship were 640,101 and 1448, respectively.

I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Mining Page(s)". IfJt was'possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are^spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you'complete continuity. 2. When an.image.on the film is obliterated with li large round black mark, it . is an if}dication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during, exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing' or chart, etc., was part of the material being V- photographed the photographer ' followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to .continue photoing fronTleft to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued, again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until . complete. " - 4. The majority of usefs indicate that the textual content is, of greatest value, ■however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from .'"photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
