dc.descriptionThis book, ‘Zambian Culture: Harnessing Cultural Literacy with a focus on selected Myths and Taboos in Zambia’ is a unique text depicting the Zambian culture in general. The book starts with a discussion on culture, its significance in society and further situates the concept of cultural literacy and discusses the differences between Zambian culture and Zambian cultures at different levels with the use of relevant examples. What is more peculiar about this book is its effort in contextualising the composition of Zambian culture. The authors outlined the constituent of Zambian culture ranging from national symbols to the general lifestyle of Zambians. The authors further outlined six unique ways of marrying in Zambia, which could be familiar even to some neighbouring countries that share a similar culture with Zambia. The book focuses on selected myths and taboos where each myth and /or taboo, has been outlined, followed by their application and a possible interpretation in modern society.en
