First published in 1953 and this edition in 1991, this book was
created in association with the International African Institute.
Since its first publication, anthropology and African Studies have
changed a great deal, but the bedrock of both remains unchanged:
solid, sensitive ethnographic and historical accounts of the
peoples and cultures of the continent. Part One is by Isaac
Schapera whose documentation of life and times in the Bechuanaland
Protectorate stands as a starkly detailed chronical of an African
population in a rapidly changing world. Schapera was one of the few
anthropologists who spoke frankly of the rural predicament of rural
Africans under colonialism. Far from describing the Tswana as a
closed or timeless 'society', he locates the people in their
political and economic context, and in so doing, has left behind an
extraordinary record. This edition of The Tswana consists of the
original text to which has been added a second part by John L.
Comaroff, which covers the transformation of Tswana life in
Botswana and South Africa 1953-85, plus a much enlarged
bibliography. Together, the parts of the book make a valuable
summary of an exceedingly rich and ethnographic and historical
record that will continue to serve as an indispensable tool in
research and teaching.
