Synopsis

This fascinating volume is a collection of cameos from the real life of Africa, capturing the romance of a time when the continent was still largely unexplored. The author, a former missionary, brings an insider's perspective to the tribal traditions, folklore, and legal practices of the Bawenda people of the Northern Transvaal. Themes such as the conflict between old and new, the clash between indigenous and European values, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity are explored with depth and sensitivity. The book provides invaluable insights into the complexities of African society and the ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity on the continent.
