Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, 2000. When World War I came to the British Protectorate of Nyasaland, Africans called it the Chiwaya War, from a Chichewa word meaning a "potsherd used for roasting grain." Malawians first used the word to describe military mess tins. When they later discovered that grain roasted on the tins made a distinct popping sound, they began using the term to describe the noise of machine guns rattling around them. Gradually, chiwaya became associated with the war itself, the conflict’s new military technology, and the effects of the war, which seemed to be everywhere, like the sudden scattering in all directions of the popping maize. This is the fascinating story of how most of the adult male population of Malawi was pulled, for the most part unwillingly, into the horrors of a modern war.
