Abstract
ALTHOUGH this book, originally published in A. German, is in name a history, the author's conception of the scope of his subject has necessitated a very full treatment of the ethnology and racial movements of thenative peoples, Bushmen, Herero, Nama, Bergdama and Ovambo. Full use hasbeen made of much valuable, but unpublished and inaccessible material,especially the remarkable collection in twenty-seven volumes of records of the “Sources of the History of South-West Africa”, which has been taken into safe custody by the Administration.
