Summary:
"The features and faces of South Africas indigenous cultures are as varied as the continent's many textures and colours. In Cultures of South Africa: a celebration author Peter Joyce and photographer Roger de la Harpe celebrate this extraordinary diversity - of tradition, custom, history and geography of the land. This spectacular, full-colour volume explores the paths that South Africans have walked over the centuries and contextualises the richness of the people and places within the cultural landscape that is the legacy of South Africa"--Publisher's description.
