“…The concoction is then allowed to ferment and will be drunk after a few days; it does not keep for long periods (AcIand, 1971, Masefield, 1938. In the main method of production -there are regional variations -the bunches of bananas are first placed in deep pits for a few days after which they are peeled and placed in wooden dug-out beer canoes or in ditches lined with banana leaves.…”

Low-alcohol-content fermented beverages are thoroughly enmeshed in the social, economic, commensal, and cosmological spheres of life among most peoples of sub-Saharan Africa. This paper describes and analyzes the role of alcoholic beverages as symbolic mediators and commodities among the Haya of northwest Tanzania. Data gathered during field research in 1985-86 are employed to describe the ways in which the Haya portray excessive drinking and the indigenous strategies they use to address frequent drunkenness when it is perceived as a health problem. A central feature of the paper contrasts the role of a cultural schema of four levels of intoxication in processes of symbolic mediation and commoditization, thereby contributing to critical medical anthropological analysis.

Cooking bananas and plantains are traditional starch staple crops of considerable importance in the humid tropics. The prominence of cooking bananas and plantains in the diet is, however, threatened by several factors, in particular crop losses due to pests and diseases, and difficulties in transporting and handling bulky, irregularly shaped, perishable fruit for growing distant urban centres. The challenge to the postharvest technologist is to maintain and increase the utilization of the crop. This is currently being achieved by improved handling using appropriate technology, assisting breeders in the selection of less perishable fruit and the development of processed forms of cooking banana and plantains that are easily produced and acceptable to the consumer. Convenient processed forms are particularly important to increase utilization by consumers in the urban centres where traditional methods of preparing the raw product may not be practical.
