About this Item
From the front flap: This book is the outcome of a resolution adopted by the South African Inter - University Committee for African Studies to sponsor and prepare for publication a handbook on South African tribes. Hitherto there has been no single comparative survey sufficiently detailed and catholic in scope and content to form a satisfactory manual of South African ethnography. The contributors include all the foremost authorities in South Africa on Bantu ethnography and linguistics. Most of the book is devoted to an account of the Bantu as they were before affected by the intrusion of western civilization. Chapters are included on racial origins, habitat, grouping and ethnic history, social organization, in dividual development, domestic and communal life, economic activities, government and law, religion and magic, music, tradi tional literature and language. The four final chapters deal with the extension of European control over the Bantu and the consequent changes in tribal culture. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 453 including index; b/w photographs ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
