N2 - The Lozi consist of a number of interrelated ethnic groups located along the Zambezi River in Barotse Province of western Zambia. This file consists of 11 documents, including one translation from the German, and covers the period from 1920-1960. Turner's work provides an overall view of Lozi culture and society touchs on the major areas of Lozi ethnography as reflected in the cultural patterns of the affiliated tribes of the Central Barotse Plains. Lozi political structure is discussed in some detail in Gluckman and further supplemented by Jensen. Peters discusses native agricultural techniques, soils and general land use. Gluckman's writings deal with the pattern of land distribution of Barotse property to all homesteads, the king's protection of subjects' rights to a piece of land and the forms of tribute and gifts from commoners to royalty, the relation of bride-price, presence or lack of agnatic lineage groups, inheritance rules and general stability of marriage and the nuclear household, aspects of Barotse jurisprudence, and economic behavior. Reynolds presents a compilation of data relevant to Barotse sorcery based on records of investigations and judicial proceedings conducted by British officials in 1956 during a wave of sorcery and witchcraft incidents. Prins is a comprehensive and reliable account of Lozi society as it existed between the years 1876-1896
