AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BLACK PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA

 

 

      

 

 

ABANTU

 

MARTIN WEST - JEAN MORRIS

 

 

Dr. Martin West and Jean Morris collaborated to create an image in both words and pictures, of tribal life in South Africa - up to and including the 1970's.

 

 

       

 

 

Customs, rituals and dress are shown from all major groups and their meanings discussed. This book is a record of a way of life centuries old but now, drawing to an end. 

 

 

      

 

 

There are 184 pages containing over 250 photographs. Chapters include the Ndebele, Swazi, Tsonga, Tswana, North Sotho, South Sotho, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu.

 

 

          

 

 

Price: $50.00 plus postage.
