Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is the work of a missionary doctor who spent
eight years among the Bhaca and Khuze tribes of the Zulu nation. The text is arranged to
give a simultaneous account of most of the material by both the author and the native
informants. The latter passages are rendered in both Zulu and English. Material is
presented on puberty rites, adolescent relationships between the sexes, courting and
betrothal customs, marriage ceremonies, behavior of newly married women, and practices at
the time of the first birth. Information is most detailed on females, with particular
attention being given to hair dressing, taboos and restrictions.
