Ernst R. Wendland (1990) has identified seven organizing principles in the life of the Chewa and Tonga peoples in Malawi and Zambia. These cultural themes seem also to describe well the foundations of the values that motivate the traditional customs of the Jô people in Mali and Burkina Faso, giving support to the idea of a common culture throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Manifestations of these principles in Jô society (the customs surrounding marriage in particular) are examined in this report.
