Abstract
This paper is a sequel to one published in Anthropos (Beidelman, 1961f). It is mainly concerned with the interrelations between various tribal groups in so far as these provide insight into some of the inherent difficulties in the policy of Indirect Rule in an African political unit. By such an analysis I hope to support further a contention long made by many critics of past colonial policy, viz., that Indirect Rule was workable only through a serious discrepancy between promulgated public policy and actual political action, a discrepancy which in the long run contributed to many of the difficulties of present-day administration and the effecting of social change in contemporary Africa.
