  • Figurines used in the Initiation Ceremonies of the Nguu of Tanganyika Territory

  • A. Cory
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    21 August 2012, pp. 459-464

  • The following pages give some examples of the figurines used in the male initiation ceremonies of the Nguu, a tribe related to the larger and better-known Zigua of Tanganyika Territory. The Nguu, like the Zigua, practise circumcision.

    My own collection of figurines used in the initiation ceremonies of this tribe numbers eighty-seven; this is known to be only a small part of the total in use. The figures are made of clay, and vary in size from a few inches up to three feet in height. Beads, the bright red seed of Abrus Drecatorius, and coloured paper are used for decoration. This varies with individual taste and appears to have no symbolic significance.

  • L'Institut Français d'Afrique Noire

  • Th. Monod
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    21 August 2012, pp. 194-199

  • Dans un volume publié en 1942 par le Haut Commissariat de l'Afrique Française, L'Afrique Occidentak Françalse en 1942, j'écrivais, en tête du chapitre consacré à l'Institut d'Afrique: ' L'équipement de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler un pays neuf n'est pas fait que de rails, de camions et d'usines. L'édifice africain aura, on le sait aujourd'hui, plusieurs façades et les constructeurs, déjà, commencent, dans leurs plans, à en tenir compte. La politique et l'économie ont leur place, la science aura la sienne, la vie intellectuelle et spirituelle aurqnt la leur.
