4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Interesting,
By "ansadore" (Chicago IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peoples of Africa: Cultures of Africa South of the Sahara (Paperback)
This book intrically discussed many of the ethnic groups in Africa including, The Suku, Swazi and Tiv. Unlike other books I have read about Africa, this provided an in depth acount of a few tribes, instead of rushing to cover them all. My only complaint would be that it could've been updated to get more current information on the AIDS crisis, etc. Photos and charts helped in understanding the cultures of these tribal groups.
