Description

Explore a foundational work in African studies with The Bavenda: 62. Originally published in 1931, this volume serves as the first detailed ethnographic study of the Bavenda people. It provides a deep look into the unique social structures of the region, specifically focusing on their double system of kinship groups, a feature that is uncommon among other Bantu peoples. This book covers a wide range of cultural topics, including the history and geography of the Bavenda. Readers can learn about the social, economic, religious, political, and legal aspects of their daily lives. The text also explores specialized subjects such as medicine, magic, and folklore, offering a comprehensive view of their traditional way of life. To support the written research, the book includes over 60 black and white plates. This makes it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, or the history of African cultures. This Routledge publication remains a significant text for understanding the complex social systems of the 20th century.
