Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an ethnographic study of the Thonga, an ethnic group living in southeast Africa. Drawing on the author's research among the Thonga between 1894 and 1909, it examines their social and religious system. Chapters cover birth, childhood, adolescence, marriage, adulthood, death, kinship, economy, law, and religion. The author argues that this detailed examination of the Thonga tribe's culture and customs is essential for understanding the complex and rich diversity of South African society. By positioning Thonga culture within a broader framework, the author presents the tribe as a representative example of the Bantu-speaking peoples of southern Africa. Through a meticulous examination of their lives, the book provides significant insight into precolonial African society and the impact of European colonization.
