FERREIRA (A. Rita). POVOS de Moçambique: História e Cultura. Porto. 1975. - FERREIRA (A. Rita) POVOS de Moçambique: História e Cultura . Porto: Afrontamento, 1975. 378, [2] pp.: il.; 195 mm. This ethnographic and historical study of the peoples of Mozambique is the result of a revision and expansion of the author's previous work, entitled Characterization and Ethnic Grouping of the Indigenous Peoples of Mozambique , which the introduction acknowledges as an incipient and overly brief attempt. For each ethnic group, the description of their traditional culture is preceded by an introduction detailing the historical circumstances of their differentiation, in line with modern African historiography. The exhibition follows, as far as possible, the order suggested in the Notes and Queries on Anthropology : ethnohistory, political organization, economic system, social structure, life and death of the individual, rituals and beliefs, knowledge and tradition, language, material culture, games, and artistic and musical expressions. It is based on the published bibliography of numerous scholars, both national and especially foreign. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
