Extractions: CULTURE AND CONFLICTS IN AFRICA What is a Culture? An Anthropologists definition: "Culture consists of the abstract values, beliefs, and perceptions of the world" that shape peoples behaviors and are reflected in those behaviors." Shared by members of a society, "[c]ultures are learned, largely through the medium of language, rather than inherited biologically, and the parts of a culture function as an integrated whole." "People maintain cultures to deal with problems or matters that concern them. To survive, a culture must satisfy the basic needs of those who live by its rules, provide for its own continuity and an orderly existence ," "strike a balance between the self-interests of individuals and the needs of the society as a whole," and "have the capacity to change in order to adapt to new circumstances or to altered perceptions of existing circumstances" (William A. Havilland, Anthropology, th ed, Fort Worth: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1994; p. 303]. Culture refers to a complex system of behaviors and attitudes embodied in the total way of life of a group of people including their diet, norms and traditions, music and dancing, language, art, religion, and distinctive behaviors that make the group of people unique and distinguishes them from other people.

Average nutrient stocks in miombo woodland vegetation Table 2. Characteristics of chitemene, fundikila, and communal area farming systems in the Miombo zone of southern Africa. Int roduction Miombo woodlands grow on the ancient central African plateau and its escarpments. They form a swathe across the continent from Angola to Mozambique, and extend from Tanzania and southern Congo in the north, to Zimbabwe in the south. Scientists distinguish miombo from other savanna woodland and forest formations by the presence of legume trees belonging to the genera Brachystegia, Julbernardia, and Isoberlinia Miombo occurs on geologically old and acidic (pH 4-6) soils with low fertility. A characteristic association between miombo tree species and ectomycorrhizal fungi significantly increases mineral uptake from the soil. There is higher species diversity in miombo woodlands and associated wetlands or dambos than, for example, acacia woodlands. Miombo is of outstanding international importance for the conservation of plants and birds, many of which are endemic to the region. It provides seasonal habitat for two large, spectacular antelope in Africa, the roan and sable. Miombo trees are typically highly resilient to the annual fires that sweep across the region, and resprout rapidly after anthropogenic disturbance; however, woodland regeneration can be stalled or prevented if trees are uprooted and the connection with ectomycorrhiza is disturbed.

Extractions: The Spirits of the Dead, called the Fumbi, are also of paramount importance to the Palero. Paleros work with Spirit Guides to obtain information and wisdom, as well as with lower spirits that serve a variety of functions at the Tata (Father) or Yaya's (Mother) behest. These lower spirits are sometimes referred to as perros, or dogs. In Palo Mayombe, the gods and goddesses that the Palero worships and calls upon for help are called the Nkisi. Each Nkisi rules over a different aspect of life and nature. The Nkisi are housed in special pots that are called prendas. The prenda also houses the Fumbi, are Spirits of the Dead who aid and serve the Nkisi as well as the Palero. Without the Nkisi and the Fumbi, the Palero is powerless.

Extractions: A L OOK AT THE P AST A rchaeologists believe that the history of the San, Zambia's indigenous people, began half a million years ago. The San were nomadic hunters. Hundreds of years ago, when Bantu-speaking people from northern Africa began to migrate into Zambia, the San retreated into the forested areas. T he Bantu-speaking people developed different cultures. Some raised cattle, some fished or grew crops, and some mined copper. By the middle of the 18th century, many of Zambia's largest tribal groups, including the Bemba, Lunda, Lozi and Ngoni, had established territories. O riginally, traders from other countries came to Zambia to buy copper and ivory. But in the 18th and 19th centuries, Portuguese and Arab traders came to buy or capture people for the slave trade. Some tribal chiefs sold prisoners that they had taken during wars with neighbouring kingdoms to the slave traders. Other chiefs opposed this practice. I n the mid-19th century, David Livingstone, a British missionary, became the first English-speaking person to explore Zambia. In the 1880s, Cecil Rhodes convinced the British government to give his British South Africa Company the right to stake mining claims in Zambia. Through manipulation and force, he made the African chiefs sign treaties that gave the company control of their territory. He called the territory Rhodesia. Did you know?

Extractions: PEOPLE Zambia's population comprises more than 70 Bantu-speaking tribes. Some tribes are small, and only two have enough people to constitute at least 10% of the population. Most Zambians are subsistence farmers. The predominant religion is a blend of traditional beliefs and Christianity. Expatriates, mostly British (about 15,000) or South African, live mainly in Lusaka and in the Copperbelt in northern Zambia, where they are employed in mines and related activities. Zambia also has a small but economically important Asian population, most of whom are Indians. The country is 42% urban. Nationality: Noun and adjectiveZambian(s).

Extractions: TRADITIONAL CEREMONIES With over 70 different tribes in Zambia, there is wide cultural diversity. Interestingly enough however, it is one of the few countries in Africa with very little tribal animosity, and the existence of so many tribes has proved less of a political problem than in many other African states. The Main tribes are the Lozi, the Bemba, the Ngoni, the Tonga, the Luvale and the Kaonde. The Lozi The Lozi migrated into Western Zambia from the Luba Lunda Kingdom of Mwata Yamvwa in Zaire, which was one of the greatest central African Chieftainships in the 17th and 18th Century. After some centuries they were conquered by the Makalolo from the South, fleeing themselves from the great Zulu conqueror, Shaka. They left their language, Sikololo as the lingua franca of the Barotse plains and imposed much of their cultural tradition on the area. The Lozi people eventually rose up against them in 1864 and all but annihilated them. Their Chief is called the Litunga and they are essentially cattlemen. Every year they migrate to higher ground above the barotse flodplains of the Zambezi in a grand ceremony called the Kuomboka. The Ngoni The Tonga Among the most numerous in Zambia, archaeological evidence proves their existence for at least 900 years in the Southern province. Six centuries ago, one of the areas where they now live, the Zambezi Valley, was a flourishing trade centre. Here there was brisk trade between the valley people and the Arabs, Chinese and Indians on the East coast of Africa.. One form of currency used was a copper ingot cast in the form of a cross.
