dc.description.abstractThe principal arguments in this dissertation is that ‘’Luo expansion in rorya district for the past one and a half centuries has had a tremendous influence on the indigenous Suba communities.’’ The most visible domains of the above influence include change in territorial setting language shift and changes in certain sociocultural values e.g. removal of six ;lower teeth as well as the adoption of Luo names, identity, music and burial rites (teng’o). The stated Luo influence over Suba people has been facilitated by a number of mechanisms. The most pervasive ones include warfare, intermarriage and colonial policies. The influence is, however, not uniformly distributed over all Suba communities. In the district.
