Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Beadworking is an important art form both historically and contemporarily for the Zulu people of South Africa. While being an expression of Zulu aesthetic concepts, beadwork also has important roles in the economy; regulation of society; healing and divination practices and display of wealth, religious and political affiliations, and political power. Additionally, regional and sequential variations in the names and types of items produced, the color combinations and design motifs used on beadwork items, and the symbolism associated with various motifs and colors serve to identify an individual's age, social status, and region of origin. As such, the historical study of Zulu beadwork between 1890-1997 provides insights into the historical events, movements of people, social practices and their changes, religious beliefs, structure and changes of the economy, political climate, and artistic trends within Zulu society of this period, as they were experienced at both the individual and group level. Assuming such a broad range of roles, beadwork becomes then a symbolic embodiment of the common circumstances and interests that define Zulu ethnicity during the period under consideration.

Once the domain of women, distinct regional styles of beadwork have developed, which were passed on fromgeneration to generation.Although these styles continue to be identifiable, particularly in massed dancingat national festivals, Zulu beadwork is increasingly eclectic and much of it isdirected at the fast growing external market which now provides beadworkerswith both a welcome source of personal income and a continuing stimulus topersonal creativity.

Download or read book Saving the Last Rhinos written by Grant Fowlds and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of Grant Fowlds, who has dedicated his life to saving the imperiled rhinos, vividly told with Graham Spence, co-author of the bestselling The Elephant Whisperer. What would drive a man to ‘smuggle’ rhino horn back into Africa at great risk to himself? This is just one of the situations Fowlds has put himself in as part of his ongoing fight against poaching, in order to prove a link between southern Africa and the illicit, lucrative trade in rhino horn in Vietnam. Shavings of rhino horn are sold as a snake-oil “cures,” but a rhino’s horn has no magical, medicinal properties whatsoever. Yet it is for this that rhinoceroses are being killed at an escalating rate that puts the survival of the species in jeopardy. This corrupt, illegal war on wildlife has brought an iconic animal to the brink of extinction. Growing up on a farm in the eastern Cape of South Africa, Grant developed a deep love of nature, turning his back on hunting to focus on saving wildlife of all kinds and the environment that sustains both them and us. He is a passionate conservationist who puts himself on the front line of protecting rhinos in the wild—right now, against armed poachers—and in the long term, through his work with schoolchildren, communities, and policymakers.

Download or read book Zulu Identities written by Benedict Carton and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be Zulu today? Does being Zulu today differ from what it meant in the past? "Zulu Identities" wrestles with these and many other related questions to show how the characteristic traditions of a pre-industrial people have evolved into different cultural expressions of "Zulu-ness" in modern South Africa. This authoritative and specially commissioned volume, which contains more collected expertise on the Zulus than is available from any other source, examines the legacies of Shaka, the intrigues of Zulu royalty, gender and generational struggles, cultural and symbolic projections, and spirituality. It highlights the debates in contemporary South Africa over the manipulation of Zulu heritage, whether deployed for party political purposes or exploited to promote eco- and battlefield-tourism. And finally the book contemplates the future of Zulu identity in a unitary South Africa seeking to embrace the forces of globalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dust of the Zulu Louise Meintjes traces the political and aesthetic significance of ngoma, a competitive form of dance and music that emerged out of the legacies of colonialism and apartheid in South Africa. Contextualizing ngoma within South Africa's history of violence, migrant labor, the HIV epidemic, and the world music market, Meintjes follows a community ngoma team and its professional subgroup during the twenty years after apartheid's end. She intricately ties aesthetics to politics, embodiment to the voice, and masculine anger to eloquence and virtuosity, relating the visceral experience of ngoma performances as they embody the expanse of South African history. Meintjes also shows how ngoma helps build community, cultivate responsible manhood, and provide its participants with a means to reconcile South Africa's past with its postapartheid future. Dust of the Zulu includes over one hundred photographs of ngoma performances, the majority taken by award-winning photojournalist TJ Lemon.
