Bemba Dynasty
"The Bemba people of Zambia had a rich and extensive kingdom that rose to the stature of an empire. Originally, from Kola (present day Angola and Congo DR), under Mukulumpe "Mierda" Mubemba and Mumbi Lyulu Mukasa, the crocodile clan forged forward, reaching their echelon and crescendo under the reign of such great rulers (called Chitimukulu or great tree) as Chileshe Chepela, Chitapankwa and others. It's a story of love, betrayal, empire building, European invasion and the decline of African traditions. Bemba Dynasty (historical novel) is at the very essence of everything that defines colonialism, freedom and self-determination for the people of Zambia and Africa."--Goodreads.com.
Zambia
This work is about life in Zambia. It's also a general introduction to Zambia, the land and its people. Subjects covered include the country's history and geography, ethnic groups and their cultures. All the provinces of Zambia and their natural resources and important landmarks are also covered in the book. So are towns and cities in each of the provinces. Much of the work is focused on how the people live in their traditional societies and in the towns and cities, including the people of different ethnic groups - some from neighbouring countries especially Tanzania and Malawi - who work in the mines in the Copperbelt Province and how they interact with each other and with the indigenous people of Zambia. Some of the people who may find this work to be useful include tourists and others going to Zambia or anybody else who wants to learn some basic facts about the country.
