In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

List of Interviews The 506 interviews on the following list were all conducted by the author. With the exception of three early interviews conducted in English, occasional lapses by Shambaa-speakers into Swahili, and thirteen texts in the Mbugu language, all the interviews were conducted in Shambaa with no interpreter. Many of the Shambaa traditions were tape recorded and then transcribed by the author in Shambaa. The rest were recorded verbatim in Shambaa by the author in an improvised shorthand, and then transcribed in Shambaa by him. The Mbugu traditions were conducted by the author in Mbugu (with occasional lapses into Shambaa ), then transcribed by a research assistant in Mbugu, and translated by the assistant into Shambaa. Copies of the majority of the texts have been deposited in the East Africana Collection of the University of Dar es Salaam, available for use by anyone who reads Shambaa. Neither sociological survey data collected by the author nor additional interviews conducted by a research assistant are listed below in the roster of interviews. Places are in parentheses. S/o, dlo, and mlo are used for son of, daughter of, and mother of, respectively. 1-2. Abdala Mweta, Rangwi, 13 June 1968; 15 June 1968. 3. Abdalla Hamisi, December 1979. 4.
