In a changing South Africa, recovering the meaning and power of
African tradition is a matter of crucial importance. This work
participates in that recovery by providing a comprehensive guide to
research on the indigenous religious heritage of this dynamic
country. Detailed reviews of over 600 books, articles, and theses
are offered along with introductory essays and detailed annotations
that define the field of study. This work plus two forthcoming
volumes, "Christianity in South Africa: An Annotated Bibliography"
and "Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism in South Africa: An Annotated
Bibliography" will become the standard reference work on South
African religions. Scholars and students in Religious Studies,
Social Anthropology, History, and African Studies will find this
set particularly useful.
This work organizes and annotates all the relevant literature on
Khoisan, Xhosa, Zulu, Sotho-Tswana, Swazi, Tsonga, and Venda
traditions. The annotations are concise yet detailed essays written
in an engaging and accessible style and supported by an exhaustive
index, which comprise a full and complex profile of African
traditional religion in South Africa.
