The Law Of Commoners And Kings - Narratives of a Rural Transkei Magistrate - Ndima, Dial Dayana

This is a narrative of the life experience of an ordinary person who grew up in the rural areas of Transkei. After learning about and understanding life according to a purely African world view, he suffered a cultural shock when he came into contact with the contradictions of urban life which imposed Western-style obligations on African people. Ndima's school and university experiences brought home the realisation that African values were treated with contempt, as the dominant Western culture was continuing to bolster white supremacy.
