Title: The Herero of Western Botswana
Subtitle: Aspects of Change in a Group of Bantu-Speaking Cattle Herders
First published: 1977
Description: As an anthropologist, the author lived among the Herero, a tribe of pastoralists in the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, Africa. Since Herero society had changed drastically from descriptions of it in earlier literature, Vivelo’s challenge became to present and explain Herero social organization as it appeared to him in 1973—to describe what had changed, how it had changed, and, perhaps most interesting, why it had changed.
