include: the influence of branding on marketing decisions; the role
and place of branding in the organisation; the various elements of
branding; packaging the brand; positioning the brand; planning,

This collection of essays reflects the increasing importance for
social scientists of ethnic criteria for classifying modern
population groups. The essays discuss emergent nationalism, ethnic
divisiveness, social distance, voluntary association, and the role
of women in Africa south of the Sahara.
The fifteen essays written for this volume reflect the increasing
importance for social scientists of ethnic, rather than physical or
tribal, criteria for classifying modern population groups. The
authors-from South Africa, the United States, South West Africa
(Namibia), Nigeria, and Scotland-cover most of Africa south of the
Sahara. They consider the range from large national population
groupings to small-scale societies attempting to maintain their
social boundaries, and discuss such topics as emergent nationalism,
ethnic divisiveness, social distance, voluntary association, and
the role of women. The first section is concerned with particular
communities, peoples, and ethnic groups, and treats traditional
tribal groupings as well as communities delineated on phenotypic
grounds. In the second section, the focus turns to modern
situations of interaction; the two major themes discussed here are
situational ethnicity and situational realignment. The third
section deals with color, one of the physical criteria of ethnic
identification; here the authors discuss the political and legal
implications of a system based on color. The last essay reports on
current changes in attitude and organization within the countries
of white-ruled southern Africa.
The end of the Anglo-Boer War in May 1902 left the Boers
(Afrikaners) defeated and bitter in a ravaged land. Poverty and
disillusionment spurred many to leave the post-war
British-administered South Africa. This book studies one group of
emigres who trekked northward to German East Africa and British
East Africa. The author relies heavily on primary sources written
in both Dutch and Afrikaans to describe the experiences of the
Boers in East Africa.
The literature dealing with the Afrikaners documents a people
known for their independent insistence upon their language and
culture, for their territorial sovereignty established in southern
Africa, and for their characteristic religiosity and reliance on
Old Testament-based Calvinism. Large numbers of Boers would not or
could not adjust to living under an administration with whom they
had been at war, and those who tried did not receive much support.
As one eyewitness wrote, Not much was needed to stimulate the
desire to trek. And so the Afrikaner Diaspora began.
