Remarkable social changes have occurred among African hunter-gatherers
since the 20th century, influenced by neighboring ethnic groups and various
outsiders. This article demonstrates the recent social changes and interethnic
relationships of the Babongo, a group of central African hunter-gatherers. Based
on field research data for about 10 years between 2003 and 2012, the author
demonstrates Babongo social change in terms of population dynamics and
intermarriage and the response to influences from the outside world, referring to
three events. It is revealed that there are (1) increased migration of young people
that promotes the enlargement and establishment of their social networks, (2)
increased intermarriage between the Babongo and their neighboring farmers, and
(3) drastically changing Babongo livelihoods influenced by outsiders although ties
with the forest are retained.
