Abstract: | This article is based on ethnographic field interviews and historical notes from the first half of the 1990s from one Kunda village's history, located on the border of Zambia's South Luangwa National Park, one of Africa's greatest wildlife refuges. It examines history-telling as a form of critique of State management of local hunting and wildlife in relation to the development of health, education and agricultural services. It explores how villages construct political identities that are resistant to State policies as they commemorate the past in history-telling and local memorials. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. |
