Focusing on the crucial contributions of women researchers, Andrew
Bank demonstrates that the modern school of social anthropology in
South Africa was uniquely female-dominated. The book traces the
personal and intellectual histories of six remarkable women through
the use of a rich cocktail of archival sources, including family
photographs, private and professional correspondence, field-notes
and field diaries, published and other public writings and even
love letters. The book also sheds new light on the close
connections between their personal lives, their academic work and
their anti-segregationist and anti-apartheid politics. It will be
welcomed by anthropologists, historians and students in African
studies interested in the development of social anthropology in
twentieth-century Africa, as well as by students and researchers in
the field of gender studies.
Inside African Anthropology offers an incisive biography of the
life and work of South Africa's foremost social anthropologist,
Monica Hunter Wilson. By exploring her main fieldwork and
intellectual projects in southern Africa between the 1920s and
1960s, the book offers insights into her personal and intellectual
life. Beginning with her origins in the remote Eastern Cape, the
authors follow Wilson to the University of Cambridge and back into
the field among the Mpondo of South Africa, where her studies
resulted in her 1936 book Reaction to Conquest. Her fieldwork focus
then shifted to Tanzania, where she teamed up with her husband,
Godfrey Wilson. In the 1960s, Wilson embarked on a new urban
ethnography with a young South African anthropologist, Archie
Mafeje, one of the many black scholars she trained. This study also
provides a meticulously researched exploration of the indispensable
contributions of African research assistants to the production of
this famous woman scholar's cultural knowledge about
mid-twentieth-century Africa.

Bringing to life a unique cultural gallery of both known and
unknown figures of the early 1860s with an astonishing veracity,
this remarkable photographic collection is a visual documentation
of South Africa's people. Aesthetically stunning and of surprising
technical quality for the period taken, this intriguing collage
represents the life work of 25-year-old German doctor and
anthropologist Gustav Fritsch, who utilized the relatively new
photographic medium to complement his scientific expedition to the
South African landscape. Reflecting how the native tribes remained
untouched by the social and industrial revolution around them, and
accompanied by essays that set in context Fritsch's outlook on
racial discovery and theory, this invaluable photographic insight
is an artistic and historically significant addition to South
Africa's cultural heritage.
