Title: Culture and customs of South Africa
Description: "With the demise of Apartheid in 1994, South Africa can be considered the newest of African nations. It is the economic powerhouse of southern Africa, as well as one of the continent's most ethnically, culturally, and linguistically varied countries. This inclusive overview is an essential, substantial introduction to South Africa today. The volume provides a historical context that unites the varied strands of South Africans, from Afrikaner to Indian and Zulu." "This timely work expands our knowledge of South Africa beyond the headlines. The European angle with regard to the Boers, the Afrikaners, and Apartheid is clarified. Yet the African angle is paramount, including balanced insights into various traditions and ways of life. A chronology, glossary, photos, and map complement the narrative."--BOOK JACKET.
