Retrogressive Zambian Culture delivers a bold and unflinching critique of the toxic traditions and societal norms that hinder progress in Zambia. Through meticulous research, personal anecdotes, and sharp cultural analysis, this book exposes the deep-rooted practices that perpetuate financial irresponsibility, gender inequality, marital dysfunction, and collective stagnation.

From extravagant funerals that drain families of their savings to the oppressive expectations placed on women, this book challenges the romanticized view of Zambian tradition. It dissects the damaging mindset around wealth—where envy and sabotage thrive—and examines how outdated marital customs trap individuals in cycles of unhappiness.

Provocative yet deeply insightful, the book is a call to action for Zambians to confront uncomfortable truths, discard harmful traditions, and embrace a future built on rationality, equality, and progress. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand—and change—the cultural barriers holding Zambia back.

Key Themes Explored:

• The financial and emotional burden of funeral customs

• Systemic oppression of women in marriage and inheritance

• The culture of financial dependency and lack of wealth-building mindsets

• Toxic marital expectations and gender roles

• How retrogressive traditions stifle national progress

This book is not just a critique—it’s a roadmap for cultural reform.
