The Magic World of the
Xhosa
The Magic World of the
Xhosa
Aubrey Elliot was born in
South Africa and learned Xhosa at the same time as English. He developed
a passion for photography and gained a lifelong interest in the
fascinating social life of South Africa's native peoples. This is his
unique account of the rich life of a Bantu tribe.
His long out of
print anthropological work portraits the Xhosa people living in the Ciskei area of South Africa.
Elliott explains the daily life and customs of the Xhosa, their
rites, rituals, devils, water spirits, ancestral spirits, myths and
various ceremonies.
