A study of the tribes of northern Namibia, the Kaokolanders, the Herero, the Wambo, and the Kavango tribes. "The author commences with each of these peoples where they themselves would do, namely in their oral traditions. He emerges with them into the era of recorded history, and carries them through their historical adventures and - more often than not, misadventures - right up to the present time. He also effectively describes their present habitats. Next follows a concise but thorough treatment of the various institutions and aspects of their fascinating cultures. This turns naturally into a discussion of culture change, which brings them right up to the present day, culturally speaking."
