Abstract

This is packed with information about Zulu heritage, covering more than 50 topics that include beadwork, pottery, carvings and basket weaving; ceremonial dancing and stick fighting; courtship and marriage; Zulu dress; ancestor worship and more. It is the perfect memento for anyone fascinated by the history and culture of South Africa's largest ethnic group.

[Ebersohn] says while The Classifier is a love story, it is also something of a parable about our country and the attitude of Afrikaners at the time and the position in which they find themselves now. I can't wait to start reading it.
