Bantu

anthropological research, like the Bantu people and the Basarwa people that Elizabeth Cashdan (1985) discusses. Although not all researchers have been as successful in identifying risk reduction reciprocity model in cross-cultural examples, such as Bliege Bird et. al. (2002), which proposed that this could be because of their treatment of free riders or just that they practice food and resource sharing without any concern for reducing risk of loss of resources. Either way, as previously mentioned quite a bit of research has been conducted to identify types of risk reduction reciprocity strategies, and much more research has been done to examine different types of relationships. Overall, the primary concern of this paper is going to be trying to identify a relationship or association between the proposed model and the formation of different types of relationships. Elizabeth Cashdan (1985) studied two indigenous groups: The Bantu speaking tribes (the Kalanga and the Tswana) and the Basarwa. In order to, illustrate these two groups Cashdan (1985) described their way of life and then how they engaged in this risk reduction reciprocity. In the article Cashdan (1985) describes this concept of insurance, which she defines as “a device for sharing losses” (p. 456). She states that insurance is a type of risk reduction reciprocity and is practiced very commonly, especially, in modern societies with automobiles, healthcare, and life expectancy. The Bantu speaking groups are more…

In this semester we have witnessed multiple encounters, big and small.

Jared Diamond, in Chapter 19 of the novel Guns, Germs, and Steel, proposes that the black Bantu ethnic group was able to exert dominance over the other four cultural groups in Africa in areas that food production was viable because the Bantu’s sedentary lifestyle was greatly advantaged compared to hunter-gatherers living in the same area. Diamond supports his claims by illustrating the major societal and organizational difference between the Bantu and hunter-gatherer groups and pointing to the…

The social structures in the Hindu caste and European feudalism are very similar and contrast sharply from the Bantu culture in terms of politics, religion, and economics.
