The Swazi: A South African Kingdom [INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR TO WOLF LESLAU]

New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, (1986). Second edition. Softcover. Sm. quarto. xiii,187pp. Original photographic wraps. Inscribed on free front endpaper by H. Kuper to Wolf Leslau and his wife: "To Wolf & Charlotte, With love & respect, Hilda." Part of the series "Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology." "This book is divided into two parts titled respectively, for effect rather than accuracy, "From Kingdom to Colony" and "From Colony to Kingdom." Part One deals primarily with the Swazi in the years from 1934 to 1945 when I did my most intensive initial fieldwork, but the final chapter showed that the structure of Swazi society was less rigid than it had initially appeared. Part Two reflects my identification with the Swazi from the '60s until 1983, during which years I visited Swaziland eleven times for periods varying from two weeks to nine months." Illustrated with some b/w reproductions of photographs. Minor scuffing and creasing to wraps, otherwise in fine condition. From the last library of Professor Leslau. vg. Item #27268
