This dissertation explores the historical connections among fourteen ethnic groups in southwestern Tanzania's Rukwa and Mbeya regions. In this territory between lakes Tanganyika and Nyasa, Bantu migrants began to settle as early as 2500 years ago. The historical evidence is derived from an interdisciplinary methodology. Languages are herein compared and analyzed to illuminate historical divergences between communities of speakers which have shared roots in a common ancestral language community. The fact that these historical communities were primarily agricultural economically means that many aspects of social, cultural, and political life were influenced by agricultural cycles, ideologies, and practices. In tracing the vocabulary related specifically to agriculture the dissertation demonstrates the ways in which those various ancestral communities and their descendants began to differentiate and specialize economically. The economic change coincided and overlapped with cultural change which is also reflected in the vocabularies.

520 $a This dissertation explores the historical connections among fourteen ethnic groups in southwestern Tanzania's Rukwa and Mbeya regions. In this territory between lakes Tanganyika and Nyasa, Bantu migrants began to settle as early as 2500 years ago. The historical evidence is derived from an interdisciplinary methodology. Languages are herein compared and analyzed to illuminate historical divergences between communities of speakers which have shared roots in a common ancestral language community. The fact that these historical communities were primarily agricultural economically means that many aspects of social, cultural, and political life were influenced by agricultural cycles, ideologies, and practices. In tracing the vocabulary related specifically to agriculture the dissertation demonstrates the ways in which those various ancestral communities and their descendants began to differentiate and specialize economically. The economic change coincided and overlapped with cultural change which is also reflected in the vocabularies.
520 $a The dissertation demonstrates some of the social and economic changes of the past two dozen centuries. The changes elaborated upon include as the shift from crops well adapted to heavy forest to those acclimated to cleared, open and drier territories. With the movement over broader areas of eastern Africa the Bantu adapted not only their economies but also their systems of social organization, kinship, and ideas of gender. The evidence indicates that both through internal innovation and through external influence and borrowing matrilineal and patrilineal systems both had major influence historically in the region of southwestern Tanzania's highlands. In the last 150 years the colonial and post-colonial periods brought major change that reshaped once again both agriculture and social organization allowing both maize and patrilineages to augment their status in the political economy.
