			Through Peter Magubane’s exceptional photography we celebrate not only the traditional and fast-disappearing, but also the developing customs of Africa’s many and varied peoples. A magnificent visual record of South Africa’s cultures.
			This is a superb record of the Kalahari Bushmen, of people who never tried to conquer their environment but who remained, instead, an integral part of it. The author and the photographers searched deep into the Kalahari to find those few remaining people who still live as their forefathers have, for the past 20 000 years. Exceptional colour photographs brilliantly complement the informative text of this very interesting book
			More than 300 magnificent colour photographs. Foreword by President Nelson Mandela. Unforgettable record of cultures under threat This is an excellent visual record of fast-disappearing traditional cultures with photographs by internationally acclaimed press photographer Peter Magubane. But it is not merely a picture book – the authoritative and informative text was written in consultation with nine experts in cultural studies and anthropology.
			A magnificent visual record of the history and traditional culture of the largest population group in South Africa.

It is a beautiful, glossy coffee-table book that features magnificent colour photographs by Roger and Pat de la Harpe. Zulu will interest the serious student of Zulu culture as much as someone interested in a colourful informative memento of South Africa.
			Meet the Himba – southern African people of whom very few westerners know. Author Margaret Jacobsohn who spent two years living among the Himba shares her intimate knowledge and interest in these nomads whose culture and customs are constantly under serious threat. The wonderful photographs of Peter and Beverly Pickford complement the text by capturing the fascinating life of the Himba.
			At a very competitive price, this book, with its more than 80 beautiful colour photographs, manages to give a visual record of a way of life that is under threat. The informative text by an expert tells the fascinating story of the San Bushmen that will interest tourists and South Africans alike.
			South Africa is renowned for its ‘Rainbow’ people and cultural diversity. A Guide to Cultural Tourism in South Africa covers a wide spectrum of cultural matters in the country, whether it pertains to the Zulu, Xhosa, Basotho or Ndebele people, or to the Afrikaner and the English.
			In this book, the authors draw on comprehensive and largely unpublished records of San beliefs which were recorded verbatim during the 1870s, as well as on modern research done with the living Kalahari San, to reveal the true meaning of San rock art.
