Social System and Tradition in Southern Africa ~ Essays in Honour of Eileen Krige

 Front cover blurb:

"This collection of commemorative essays by her past students and colleagues, is published in honour of Eileen Krige, former Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Natal, and author of many books on Social Anthropology.

The essays, mainly socio-anthropological in approach, also include some with an historical or literary slant, such as a discussion of the origins of Dingiswayo and Shaka, the history of the Buthelezi clan, Zulu clan praises, and Zulu folktales as literary art.

Social System and Tradition in Southern Africa, in which mainly the Nguni people are featured, should appeal to all who have an interest in the social anthropology and ethnography of Southern Africa.".
