(New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1986). Second edition. A volume in the 'Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology' series. 233 x 162 mm; pictorial wraps; pp. xiii + (i) + 187, incl. index; maps; photographs in text. Trace of foxing to top edge. Very good condition. "This new edition of The Swazi is in two parts. The first part is an analysis of Swazi society and culture as it existed when the first edition was published in 1963. The second part is the story of the past twenty years, beginning with the struggle for independence; to its achievement in 1968, and subsequent developments. The two parts are contrasting in coverage and style. ... There has never been a publication in anthropology resembling Part II of this case study, and it is doubtful if there will ever be another one. History and its recorder Hilda Kuper, came together in time and space. The combination of Parts I and II of this case study gives us a perspective on a third world society and culture and its adaptations to the vicissitudes of our times that is unparalleled." - George and Louise Spindler, Series Editors. .
