Zusammenfassung:The Bena are agriculturalists who live in two different ecozones in Tanzania. The Bena of the Hills live in the highlands of Njombe District, Iringa Region, Tanzania and the other, the Bena of the Rivers, live in the Ulanga valley in southwestern Morogoro Region. The Bena speak a Southern Bantu language of the Niger-Congo language family. In pre-colonial times the Bena were organized into villages which were largely autonomous and warring. They were conquered by the Hehe and, in the late nineteenth century, became subject to German colonists. There are eight documents in this collection, and the time focus is from ca. 1930 to 1965. Swartz studied the highland Bena and his research focuses on Bena politics, social organization, and psychology, especially in regard to rural development projects. Culwick has written an ethnography and history of the Ulanga Valley Bena, covering a variety of subjects, including religion, customary law, property, agricultural production, mutual aid, bride wealth, family and kin relationships, clan system, and medicine men
