Excerpt from The Transvaal and Bechuanaland Th'e anarchy at present existing in that part of the cismolopo territory of South Africa, now called Bechuanaland, and the Warm and rather irritating tone of some of the despatches that have lately passed between the Colonial Office 'or its officials and the Government of the South African Republic, regarding the causes that have brought about the anarchy and its proper treatment, deserve more attention than they are receiving as upon the wise and equitable settlement of the present difficulties, and the fixing of the policy to be pursued should conditions of a similar character again ensue, the friendly relations between the English and Dutch populations, and the peace and prosperity of the states and colonies of South Africa, will to a large extent depend.

Excerpt from On Veldt and Farm in Bechuanaland Cape Colony the Transvaal and Natal This book has been already prefaced by a series of articles which have appeared in the press from time to time. Upon finding that it was considered worth while to pirate some of these contributions, I determined to offer the whole of my notes to the public, and I have done so as rapidly as possible. There is no pretence at literary excellence, but it is my hope and belief that the matter contained in these pages will prove both interesting and useful. Should they fall into the hands of the colonists amongst whom I passed some very happy months, I trust they will forgive me if my criticisms are some times sharp. I will ask them to regard my strictures as the smiting of the righteous, which the Psalmist preferred to the balms of the wicked.

First published in 1953 and this edition in 1991, this book was created in association with the International African Institute. Since its first publication, anthropology and African Studies have changed a great deal, but the bedrock of both remains unchanged: solid, sensitive ethnographic and historical accounts of the peoples and cultures of the continent. Part One is by Isaac Schapera whose documentation of life and times in the Bechuanaland Protectorate stands as a starkly detailed chronical of an African population in a rapidly changing world. Schapera was one of the few anthropologists who spoke frankly of the rural predicament of rural Africans under colonialism. Far from describing the Tswana as a closed or timeless ‘society’, he locates the people in their political and economic context, and in so doing, has left behind an extraordinary record. This edition of The Tswana consists of the original text to which has been added a second part by John L. Comaroff, which covers the transformation of Tswana life in Botswana and South Africa 1953-85, plus a much enlarged bibliography. Together, the parts of the book make a valuable summary of an exceedingly rich and ethnographic and historical record that will continue to serve as an indispensable tool in research and teaching.

When Professor Isaac Schapera was asked in 1934 by the Protectorate Administration to compile a record of the traditional and modern laws of the Tswana tribes he had already been working since 1929 on a comprehensive ethnographic study of the Kgatla, and his investigation was therefore based on a thorough previous knowledge of the social structure as a whole. Schapera gives a picture of what Tswana law was like in former times, and shows that, contrary to expectation, modern European contact and the administration of tribes by the then Protectorate Government ended the original uniformity of the system, and created considerable diversity. Schapera conscientiously kept within the original mandate of the Administration and produced an authoritative, straightforward compilation. Despite its modest title it has deservedly become a classic and far exceeds its primary object, which was to serve as a handbook for the information and guidance of government officials and administrators of the law. This is a reprint of the first edition published in 1938.
