Talk by Monica Wilson Professor of Anthropology,
University of Cape Town
Twenty years ago Monica Wilson lived among and studied the Nyakyusa people of Nyasaland; she returned last year to find many changes, not least in the field of religious and moral beliefs. She speaks about some of the difficulties that arise in the change from paganism to Christianity, and the ways in which the people are meeting them.
