Zulu Names, Polygyny and Gender Politics in Traditional Societies
Evangeline Bonisiwe Zungu
Provides illuminating insight into Zulu polygynous families. The book examines how Zulu anthroponyms used in respect of the living-dead reflect social behaviour patterns within homesteads. Names become social outlets for sentiments of hostility and ill-feelings caused by quarrels between co-wives and in-laws.
