Tafsiri ya Amakuru Ga Kiziba na Abamkama Bamu
Historia ya Kiziba na Wafalme Wake: Tafsiri ya Amakuru Ga Kiziba na Abakama Bamu
ni mchango mkubwa kwa fasihi ya kihistoria ya wenyeji wa Afrika ya
Mashariki na Tanzania. Utafiti wa Mfalme Mutahangarwa wa Kiziba
(aliyetawala 1903–1916) katika mwanzo wa karne ya ishirini ulikusanya
mabingwa wa simulizi za mdomo kutoka katika koo za kifalme na zisizo za
kifalme na shuhuda zao ziliandikwa na watu waliokwisha kujua kusoma na
kuandika, akiwemo F.X. Lwamgira. Miongo mine baadaye matokeo ya utafiti
huo yalipigwachapa kikatokea kitabu chenye kurasa 490 katika lugha ya
Kihaya ambach kilibaki bila kujulikana ingawa kilikuwa kitabu muhimu.
Tafsiri hii muhimu itafanya historia ya Kaskazini Magharibi mwa Tanzania
na Kusini Magharibi mwa Uganda kabla na mwanzoni mwa ukoloni iwafikie
kwa mara ya kwanza wasomi wengi.
