4to; laminated pictorial boards; pp. 160, incl. index; profusely illustrated with maps, period artwork, diagrams, charts, photographs, incl. full-colour. Boards slightly rubbed; some minor foxing. Very good condition. "The human population of Southern Africa is very diverse, and yet there are important senses in which it must be… studied as a whole. This book, written by an historian and a social anthropologist, is an interdisciplinary attempt at understanding the history and contemporary situation of the Tswana and Southern Sotho people of Southern Africa, and thereby to a large extent the situation of rural Southern Africa generally. The Sotho-Tswana are today distributed mainly between Lesotho, Botswana and, within South Africa, the 'homelands' of BophuthaTswana and Basotho QwaQwa. The text traces their early history and the upheavals of the Difaqane, the reconstruction of the Sotho states, the responses to colonialism, the impact of migrant labour, the roots of underdevelopment. In presenting a picture of change which undermines the view of Southern Africa's black population as comprising separate static 'ethnic units', the book vividly illustrates the lives of Sotho-Tswana people in 'homelands' and sovereign states. The text is profusely illustrated with colour and black-and-white photographs, charts, maps and diagrams.".

Very good condition. 'This is a record of one of the most significant accounts of African exploration to have been written in the nineteenth century: it is not only of great potential value to researchers in the fields of the natural sciences, ethnography and history, but is packed with the kind of detail that is sought by Africana collectors and by non-specialist readers who are hungry for the factual story of our past. Smith was trained as a doctor; after some experience in overseas assignments, the British Army sent him to South Africa in 1821, posted to a regiment on the eastern frontier. He remained in South Africa until 1837, performing a variety of medical and scientific assignments, mostly work of a pioneering character - including an appointment as the first Superintendent of the newly-established South African Museum. . By 1832 the South African Literary and Scientific Institution had begun seriously to plan and develop the idea of a properly-organised expedition, which culminated in the establishment of the Expedition to Central Africa, under the directorship of Smith. . Supported by a party of some 40 members, of whom six were Europeans, Smith set forth from Graaff-Reinet in August 1834: and returned in January 1836. The reaction of the then Governor was that "Dr Smith fulfilled this trust with great judgement and ability . " '.
