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.
Description
An ethnological study of social change among a group of Herero cattle herders in western Bostwana, Africa. Previous descriptions of this group are compared in this volume with observations made by the author in 1973.
