More than 7000 personal names drawn from about 30 of Zambia's 73 languages and dialects across all ten provinces including their meanings and, in some cases, pronunciation and brief backgrounds in preservation of indigenous cultural knowledge. The continuous lifelong research has been adopted by the House of Chiefs, with some traditional leaders contributing to its expansion, and has currently about double the initial published volume of names. Due to enormous similarities of names in Central Africa, this work has brought researchers together to work on regional volumes of the Encyclopedia. SYNOPSISGrinding all the indigenous Zambian names in the spirit of national unity, as roasted ground nuts with mortar and pestle, forms one attractive and closely related culture. Regarding naming rites in Zambia, there is a fine line between our traditions and the Hindu theology of reincarnation. Zambian names are more centered on religious, environmental and socioeconomic activities that politics.Ngoma (Eastern, Northern), Goma (Eastern), Hangoma (Southern), Kamungoma (Western), Kaoma, Mondo (Luapula, Northern), Kamangu (Eastern) or Mwondo (Northwestern) are perhaps the most powerful, or at least among the most powerful traditional names in Zambia. The non expanded meaning of 'Ngoma' is 'drum'. The power of drums can be likened to that of the media today. Furthermore, besides being a powerful tool for mass communication, drums played a crucial role in upholding the spirituality of a community.In fact, Ngoma is an institution, or rather, a stronghold for much of the COMESA region and its influence goes beyond the continent. It infiltrates every stratum of society in some regions and is also referred to as 'the African Rhythm'

Zambian plants: their vernacular names and uses is a comprehensive list of vernacular names used by the millions of rural Zambians who rely on bush products in their everyday lives. It is also the most comprehensive review of the uses of Zambian plants ever published, listing some 8,181 examples of plant use. Even in this technological age, it is worth remembering that 65% of the drugs that we use in treating cancer are derived from plants. There may well be effective cures in this book that have not yet found wide use, and deserve to do so. This book will be of great value to a wide ranging audience, including = botanists, conservationists, foresters, agriculturalists, pharmacologists, economists, teachers and students.

The Postcolonial Condition of Names and Naming Practices in Southern Africa represents a milestone in southern African onomastic studies. The contributors here are all members of, and speakers of, the cultures and languages they write about, and, together, they speak with an authentic African voice on naming issues in the southern part of the African continent. The volume’s overarching thesis is that names are important yet often underestimated socio-politico-cultural sites on which some of the most significant events and processes in the post-colony can be read. The onomastic topics covered in the book range from the names of traditional healers and male aphrodisiacs to urban landscapes and street naming, from the interface between Chinese and African naming practices to the names of bands of musicians and mini-bus taxis. There is a strong section on literary onomastics which explores how names have been variously deployed by southern African fiction writers for certain semantic, aesthetic and ideological effects. The cultures and languages covered in this volume are equally wide-ranging, and, while some authors focus on single languages and cultures (for example Thembu, Xhosa, Shona), others look at inter-cultural influences such as the influence of the Portuguese and Chinese languages on Shona naming.
