| Synopsis: |
A collection of papers depicting life in the copperbelt townships of Zambia, a decade before independence. New material is combined with some more well-known essays, covering the role of networks in urban social organization; the emergence of CiCopperbelti, the distinctive language of the towns; and the remarkable evangelical success of Jehovah's Witnesses. A chapter on the resurgence of beliefs in "banyama" or vampires appears for the first time in this collection and a specially written retrospect is a personal account of Epstein's years of fieldwork in the copperbelt. |
