Five Kagum Texts By T. O. Beidelman Contents : 1. Six Chicks 2. Those Who Are Helped Have no Obligations 3. The Thief, the Witch, and the Liar 4. The Origin of Circumcision 5. The Millet Stalk In recent years, scholars studying African societies have become in creasingly concerned with problems of African cosmologies and thought. A great deal of space has been devoted to rather vague and general accounts of the African mind, Bantu philosophy, African personality, and similar ideol ogical constructs. What, however, we lack are a sufficient number of detailed and extensive surveys of African texts and other original source materials to provide us with the facts of linguistic and social behaviour by which we may formulate useful analyses of particular systems of thought and values for part icular African societies. It is in the spirit of such enquiry that I submit this brief collection of Kaguru texts as part of a wider survey of the folklore of one particular African people 1 . When this survey is completed, perhaps we may be in a position to make some useful comments about that society and from such particular and limited analyses of individual societies we may eventually be able to draw broader conclusions as the comparative literature for African societies grows. The Kaguru are matrilineal Bantu cultivators inhabiting east-central Tanganyika. I have discussed some aspects of Kaguru social organization and ideology elsewhere and do not intend to do so here 2 . I present these five Kaguru texts, first, in a free English translation (a) explaining and discussing certain details of the texts in footnotes ; later, I present the original Kaguru texts along with a very rough English literal translation (b). 1 T.
