  4. 17. Silence : Disputes on the Ground and in the Mind among the Iraqw in Karatu District, Tanzania

    Author : Lars Hagborg; Aud Talle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ethnology; dispute; conflict; reconciliation; narrative; Iraqw; Karatu; Tanzania; Etnologi; Ethnology; Etnologi; Kulturantropologi; Cultural Anthropology;
