Review
Cultures of South Africa: A Celebration by Peter Joyce, photos by Roger and Pat de la Harpe is a marvelous book about all the different peoples who live in South Africa. Each chapter tells the history and customs, rituals and traditions of the various tribes who have inhabited the country since before recorded history. It also tells the story of the Dutch and their descendents and other current inhabitants. Each chapter is filled with beautiful photos of the peoples and their colorful traditions, dances, costumes, and ways of life. It is a treasure of a book for any resident of South Africa and a perfect memento for any visitor there. It is a must!
