Ethnicity in Modern Africa
The Boers in East Africa: Ethnicity and Identity
The Boers in East Africa: Ethnicity and Identity
The end of the Anglo-Boer War in May 1902 left the Boers (Afrikaners) defeated and bitter in a ravaged land. Poverty and disillusionment spurred many to leave the post-war British-administered South Africa. This book studies one group of emigres who trekked northward to German East Africa and British East Africa. The author relies heavily on primary sources written in both Dutch and Afrikaans to describe the experiences of the Boers in East Afric…
Dynamics of Human Reproduction: Biology Biometry, Demography
The Mahatma Gandhi and South Africa
The years that Gandhi spent in South Africa have been admirably described by several scholars. This articles traces the development of a philosophy which became uniquely identified with Gandhi, and then looks at his legacy in South Africa, especially his influence in the social, religious, and political spheres. How is it possible that the shadow of so apparently frail a figure was cast so widely over events during most of this century

Does the road get lonelier? Aging in a coloured community in South Africa
Aging and Menopause Among Indian South African Women
Immigration and Ethnicity: The Case of Argentina
The Far Right in Current South African Politics
Afrikaner consciousness and identification have a tradition of very clear ethnic roots. Derived from a common ancestral stock that gives biological, historical, and linguistic characteristics to their identity, Afrikaners also share a Protestant religion tradition, with a major theme of Calvinistic predestination and being in South Africa due to divine providence. While opposing parties may vie for their support, the sentiment of favouring Afrika…

Menstruation: Attitudes and Experience of Indian South Africans
With few exceptions, studies in the climacteric and research on menopause have been clinical in nature and frequently pertained to endocrinological imbalances. However, a growing number of studies by trained social scientists are appearing. In some cases these are ethnographic studies (e.g., Maoz 1973; Flint 1974; Davis 1983; Beyene 1984; and Lock 1986) while others are survey and/or theoretical in nature (e.g., Bart 1979; Datan et al. 1981; Brow…
Menarche and sexuality among a sample of black South African schoolgirls
Missionaries, Anthropologists, and the Policies of the Dutch Reformed Church
This article discusses the relationship of missionaries and anthropologists in South Africa. Due to such important factors as ethnicity, linguistic group membership, denominationalism, and party political affiliation, it is essential to present historical perspectives on these and related matters. The vocation of missionary is almost exclusively a white enterprise as is that of professional anthropologist. Blacks have however had significant infl…
Consciousness, Identification, and Resistance in South Africa
Colonial and neo-colonial situations are characterised by an absence of power-sharing, though those who have the political power may allow token participation by others. Tokenism exists in many aspects of life, though typically minority-group members enjoy greater economic and adminstrative rights than political and legislative rights. In the last analysis, the governmanet is not accountable to such minorities because they are not part of the ele…

Ethics, Informed Consent, and Fieldwork
The scene is the lounge of the Washington Hilton, site of the Professional Social Scientists annual convention. A few people are drinking at the bar. In the center of the room three tables have been pushed together. Tankards of beer dot the tables and a number of people recline in the vinyl covered chairs. The men are mostly bearded individuals of middle age; four of them are puffing on well-worn pipes. Three younger women, cigarette packages on …
Stress, Crisis, and Behaviour - a South African Case
It is March 1970 and a quiet warm Sunday afternoon in the town of Yungay. Most of the children are attending a performance by the visiting circus in the stadium, while their parents are relaxing in anticipation of the busy week ahead. The market is crowded with peasants who are selling and tourists who are buying. This picturesque town of 4,500 inhabitants is festive, and from many a house the radio can be heard broadcasting the World Cup soccer …

Isangoma: An Adaptive Agent among Urban Zulu
Traditional healers, both those who administer to the body and those who administer to the mind, have been present and important in Africa. As the new Africa emerges and urban complexes appear, one finds that large numbers of persons are confused by new situations and unsettled by new expectations. These persons, both rural and urban, still tend to turn to the traditional healer to help with problems with which the person cannot cope. At the same…
Aging and Menopause Among Indian South African Women

Misconstruction and Problems in Communication
Anthropological literature is rich in descriptions and analyses of cultural revitalization movements. On the whole, however, we lack studies of situations and occurrences that contain the necessary-but sometimes not sufficient-conditions for these movements. The events that preceded and accompanied the solar eclipse of 1962 in New Guinea produced the preconditions for a movement of cultural revitalization. This case shows the kind of misinterpret…

Afrikaners, Nationalists, and Apartheid
It seems that one of the major fallacies today is that of generalisation. We have all had our fill of the writer or speaker who refers to 'the African and his animistic religion', 'the Zulu and his impi-membership', or the 'military syndrome' in African politics. Every intelligent reader and student is conscious of the danger of generalisation and the tendency to lump under some uniform heading 'the African', 'the Negro', and 'the Afrikaner'. Whi…

Some Aspects of the Soul-Concept among the Bantu-Speaking Nguni-Tribes of South Africa
The purpose of this paper is to consider some aspects of the fundamental belief system of the Nguni, namely, the worship of the ancestors. Specifically we will be concerned with a few major points; the distinction between the soul and the spirit as the Nguni conceive of it; the difference between family and tribal spirits; the appearance of these spirits to man, and finally the relationship between the living and the dead. This paper pertains to …

Two Aspects of Social Change: Highfield African Township, Salisbury
This paper presents the results of a structured enquiry survey which is a sequel to a sociographic survey of Highfield African township (Stopforth: 1971). The general introduction to the 1971 publication outlines physical and general information on the township and will not be repeated here. Since the completion of the field research for this project in December 1969, Highfield township has passed from the administration of the Ministry of Local …
