| Abstract |
The Ovimbundu live in the Benguela Highlands (Bié Plateau) of Angola. They are agricultural and the villages are moved when the soil is exhausted. This file contains 12 documents and the time range of the information is from 1600-1997. Ethnographies are included as well as a collection of Ovimbundu folktales; information on the history of the Wambu Kingdom; cultural history and political economy from the early contact period up to the civil war (2000); the Bailunda War (1902-4); magic, spiritual beliefs, divination and curing practices; and social and economic change resulting from the colonial encounter. |
