The Ndali people occupy a small area of northern Malawi and southern Tanzania. Relatively little has been published on their language, life, or culture. This volume presents short personal narratives on various aspects of the Ndali world in Malawi, as related by 16 individuals, men and women ranging in age from their late teens to early 40s. These texts are a representative sample collected in 1994 by Loveness Schafer. They provide a glimpse of Ndali culture and life. Contents: Folk Histories of the Ndali and Sukwa Peoples; Childbirth; Death and Funerals; Marriage; Food and Food-Producing Activities; Music; Musical Instruments; Old and New: 'Traditional Beliefs', and 'A Person Who Has Never Seen a Plane'; Folk Art: 2 Folk Tales, 2 Poems.
