Abstrak (Ringkasan)
The core of scientific study would be anthropological and linguistic, and Lugard saw a useful future for research into African local law and custom, land tenure systems and changes in consumption patterns, among other topics (Lugard 1928). Such texts may include stories, songs, dramas, riddles, proverbs, historical and other traditions, descriptions of social institutions and customs, myths and religion in its every aspect (Lugard 1928: 4) In the journal itself, this programme was followed mainly by means of a section headed 'The Voice of Africa', made up of short texts which included, during the first few years of the journal's life, popular songs from Mombasa, Kikuyu proverbs, Xhosa intsomi, and a Chopi love-song.
