Zusammenfassung:The Lakeshore Tonga live on the western shore of Lake Malawi between Nkhata Bay and the Luweya River in the Northern Province of the Republic of Malawi. They are a heterogeneous people formed from at least four different groups who settled the area in the late 18th century. The Tonga of Malawi are distinct from the people of the same name who live in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique. There are six documents in the file, five of them by the ethnographer van Velsen. Of particular note is the ethnography, Politics of Kinship. It includes detailed, situational analysis of power relations within and between kin groups and villages, and the strategies Tonga leaders employ in their quest for power. The other four works by Van Velsen are articles that look specifically at Tonga labor migration, oral history prior to British contact, and the histories of British missionaries and administration. Douglas has written a very brief description of Tonga traditional religion, history, economy, and social organization
