2000AF-8Boulder CO.: Westview Press 2000. When World War I came to the British Protectorate of Nyasaland Africans called it the Chiwaya War from a Chichewa word meaning a "potsherd used for roasting grain." Malawians first used the word to describe military mess tins. When they later discovered that grain roasted on the tins made a distinct popping sound they began using the term to describe the noise of machine guns rattling around them. Gradually chiwaya became associated with the war itself the conflicts new military technology and the effects of the war which seemed to be everywhere like the sudden scattering in all directions of the popping maize. This is the fascinating story of how most of the adult male population of Malawi was pulled for the most part unwillingly into the horrors of a modern war. Melvin Page not only examines the recruitment and military service of Malawian askari soldiers and tenga-tenga military laborers but also considers the impact of wartime experience on all facets of Malawian life. The Chiwaya War became the nations first truly national experience and as such was a watershed in Malawian history. Based on extensive use of oral sources plus archival research in Africa Europe and the United States The Chiwaya War is the most complete analysis of the effects of the World War I on any African country. 276 pgs.
