    Quick Overview:
    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.

    Zambia Country Information
    Land-locked Zambia is one of Africa's most eccentric legacies of colonialism. Shaped like a crumpled figure-eight, its borders don't correspond to any tribal or linguistic area. It's bordered by Angola to the west, the Congo (Zaïre) to the west and north, Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, and Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the south. Zambia sits on an undulating plateau, sloping to the south. Areas of high ground include the Copperbelt Highlands and the Nyika Plateau on the border with Malawi, which contains Mwanda Peak (2150m/7050ft), the country's highest point. Zambia's main rivers are the Zambezi, which rises in the west of the country and forms the border between Zambia and Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; the Kafue, which rises in the highlands between Zambia and the Congo (Zaïre); and the Luangwa, which flows from the north into the Zambezi.
    Zambia's great wildlife parks are home to a very wide range of mammals and birds. Aside from the marquee names like lions, elephants, hippos, buffalos, zebras and giraffes, commonly sighted species include warthogs, mongooses, honey badgers, baboons, African striped weasels and Lichtenstein's hartebeests. Zambia's varied birdlife includes ostriches, hornbills, woodhoopoes and starlings. Most of Zambia is moist savanna woodland, where broadleaf deciduous trees grow far enough apart to allow grasses and other plants to grow on the woodland floor. In the wetter north, bushveld covers much of the drier southwest. In drier areas, especially the valleys of the Zambezi and Luangwa you'll see sprawling branches of stout baobab trees, some thousands of years old.

    Introduction Background
    The territory of Northern Rhodesia was administered by the South Africa Company from 1891 until takeover by the UK in 1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964. In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices and a prolonged drought hurt the economy. Elections in 1991 brought an end to one-party rule, but the subsequent vote in 1996 saw blatant harassment of opposition parties.

    VMM has had a presence in Zambia since 1970 when volunteers were first sent there. The living standards for the majority of the population was better in 1970 than it is today. It is one of the most peaceful of African nations, is four times the size of the UK, and is rich in culture. Being landlocked makes it expensive to transport goods to and from Zambia and the value of the currency (kwacha) is very weak. It has a tropical climate with rains only in the season from October to April and being at high altitude makes Zambia cooler than many of its neighbouring countries.
    Government: The present constitution dates from 1973. Legislative power is held by the unicameral National Assembly with 135 members, 125 of whom are elected every five years by universal adult suffrage (the remaining ten are presidential appointees). Executive power is held by the president who appoints a cabinet, headed by a prime minister, to conduct the administration of the government.

    • Slightly smaller than twice the size of Texas (approximately 481,000 square miles), Angola is bordered by Namibia, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Zambia and the Atlantic Ocean. It is divided into 18 provinces, with the city of Luanda as its capital. The country became independent from Portugal November 11, 1975. As of July 2001, Angola’s population was estimated to be 10,366,000. Religion here is split roughly between indigenous beliefs and Christianity, while predominant languages include Portuguese, Bantu and a variety of other African tongues. Only 42 percent of the population is literate; the average life expectancy is 38.6 years. The land rises east from a narrow coastal plain to a vast interior plateau; the country’s highest point is Morro de Moco, at approximately 8,600 feet. Angola’s climate ranges from semiarid in the southern and coastal areas to cool, dry winters and hot, rainy summers in the north. Nearly all the land is desert or savanna, with hardwood forests in the northeast. Only 2 percent of the country is arable, though it has abundant natural resources, including petroleum, gold, diamonds and iron ore. Despite its natural resources, Angola remains one of the poorest countries in the world, largely the result of a quarter-century of civil war that has devastated the economy. Today, 85 percent of the population depends on subsistence agriculture for its livelihood. Oil production and related activities account for 45 percent of the gross domestic product.

    Wim van Binsbergen Can anthropology become the theory of peripheral class struggle? Reflections on the work of Pierre-Philippe Rey homepage © 1984-2002 Wim M.J. van Binsbergen INTRODUCTION ANTHROPOLOGY AS IDEOLOGICAL PRODUCTION Pierre Philippe Rey’s work (1971, 1973, 1976, 1978, and numerous articles) makes immensely inspiring reading. Few anthropologists are similarly capable of presenting an analysis of African local societies in such terms as to make them directly relevant to the pressing problems of sociological theory and praxis in our own society. The way Rey depicts the African people he studies, they unmistakably inhabit the same world as the author and his readers, albeit at different parts of the globe and under significantly different conditions; and they face basically the same problem as we do: how to cope with a world whose productive, political and ideological processes are increasingly shaped by the capitalist mode of production. Rey’s work is unprecedented in that it provides original solutions for a number of dilemmas pervading debates among Africanists and left-wing intellectuals in general during the last decade and a half. Whilst demonstrating the impact of colonialism and capitalism, he does not turn a blind eye to such forms of exploitation as defined ante-capitalist
