Sobre este artículo
(Cape Town: Struik, 1984) 0869770578. 4to; original brown boards, lettered in white on spine and upper cover; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 184, incl. index; map; profusely illustrated with photographs in monochrome and full colour. Dustwrapper ever so slightly rubbed and a little foxed to reverse, with discreet archival tape repair to reverse of edge-tear. Very good condition. "Strictly speaking, the tribal people of Southern Africa have ceased to exist: so much is changing, so much has already been lost. Dr Martin West and Jean Morris have collaborated to create an image in words and pictures of what remains of the traditional African way of life in South Africa. All the major groups are described; their customs, rituals and dress are shown and the meanings discussed. This is a record of a way of life centuries old but now, inexorably, drawing to an end. It may well be that at some point in the future, all that will remain of this proud heritage will be its oblique reflection in the new emerging black society." .
