Book excerpt: Kings and Clans questions the assumption that "clans," as traditionally defined by anthropologists and historians, are static structures that hamper political centralization. By reconstructing the history of kings and clans in Africa's Kivu Rift Valley at a time of critical social change, Newbury enlarges our understanding of social process and the growth of state power in Africa.
