"The Tembu, a branch of the Xhosa-speaking people in Southern Africa, live in the uplands of the western Transkei where, over the centuries, they have evolved an unwritten culture which allows each individual to play an independent role in their tribal society. This book is a detailed account of the art, customs, songs, dances and ceremonies of the Tembu people, in which the author sets out to explain the intricacies of tribal life. From the deep understanding of the people about whom she writes and from years of dedicated research, Joan Broster has compiled this unique study of the Tembu people, to stand as a permanent record of an African culture in the face of sweeping social changes in modern African societies.".…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. 'We have all heard about "witchdoctors" or, to give them their rightful name, amagqirha, and are aware of the mystery and controversy that surround them. Despite scientific accounts, the amagqirha remain beyond the experience of most people. This book gives the story as told to Joan Broster by the amagqirha themselves. It has not been written from any particular point of view, nor from a background of specialized training, but with a clearness of perception born from love and rapport. In their own words, with the author as their interpreter, the amagqirha describe their calling and discuss the religious, magical and medicinal aspects of their profession. Joan Broster is in a unique position to write of these prominent members of the Xhosa nation, for she was born in Transkei and has lived most of her life in close contact with the tribal people. Her natural style of writing, her warmth and her modesty add to the fascination of the subject and ensure interesting reading.' ------------- 126 pages with glossary, index and colour photographs. ---------- Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
