Product Information
Among Africa's often relatively artificial states there are few that could qualify as a nation but Swaziland is one of them. It is inhabited by a fairly homogenous people living on the same land as their ancestors. They are bound by countless customs and traditions which this volume seeks to catalogue, along with an early history of Swaziland, a contemporary history, the colonial era, and entries on important figures including Swazi kings and queens, colonial secretaries and resident commissioners to missionaries and concession-hunters. The material presented in this volume aims to provide a chronology as well as a comprehensive foundation of the Swaziland and her people.

For the second edition, Scarecrow Press recruited the eminent Swaziland historian Alan Booth. In three decades of sustained research on the country, Booth has acquired a thorough knowledge of the sweep of Swaziland's colonial history and a masterful grasp of the sources available for writing it .Based on the most recent scholarship and his own research, this essay sets an excellent contextual tone for what follows....Many of the individual thematic entries are rich mini essays in themselves, successfully conveying the latest findings or thoughts on a particular issue....the numerous biographical entries are consistently fascinating and valuable....the indispensable reference tool for the research community in Swaziland and the next generation of outside scholars, who will find guidance, comfort, and a sink-full of research ideas., For the second edition, Scarecrow Press recruited the eminent Swaziland historian Alan Booth.

Almost every important figure in Swaziland's history is covered and cross-referencing in unusually adequate...can actually be recommended as a place to become oriented to Swazi history., Not simply an updating, it stands alone as a completely new, exceedingly informative, reliable source for historical, political, and cultural coverage of Africa's last remaining kingdom...beautifully written introduction that is the best summary of Swaziland available anywhere...comprises incredibly detailed yet fascinating descriptions of all things Swazi...Highly recommended for graduate students, faculty, and scholars of Africa and all library reference collections.

Wrong cover.Book came with the first 20-ish pages folded along its length, creasing all the way down about a sixth of the page. Also had a printing defect where about 10 pages in the middle of the book were creased on the corner and folded inward to hide that they were defectively oversized, sticking out at odd angles. Either the seller purposefully did this or failed to adequately inspect the book. Considering they claim they won’t ship a book they wouldn’t read themselves, this is concerning.
