About this product
Product Information
Among Africa's often relatively artificial states there are few that could qualify as a nation but Swaziland is one of them. It is inhabited by a fairly homogenous people living on the same land as their ancestors. They are bound by countless customs and traditions which this volume seeks to catalogue, along with an early history of Swaziland, a contemporary history, the colonial era, and entries on important figures including Swazi kings and queens, colonial secretaries and resident commissioners to missionaries and concession-hunters. The material presented in this volume aims to provide a chronology as well as a comprehensive foundation of the Swaziland and her people.

Almost every important figure in Swaziland's history is covered and cross-referencing in unusually adequate...can actually be recommended as a place to become oriented to Swazi history., Not simply an updating, it stands alone as a completely new, exceedingly informative, reliable source for historical, political, and cultural coverage of Africa's last remaining kingdom...beautifully written introduction that is the best summary of Swaziland available anywhere...comprises incredibly detailed yet fascinating descriptions of all things Swazi...Highly recommended for graduate students, faculty, and scholars of Africa and all library reference collections.
