Editor's note: 'African Village provides for the first time a comprehensive story of the settlement of Southern Africa. It is an account of the homes and villages of the African peoples from Prehistoric times up to the time when European influence began to alter their established pattern of life. Cave dwellings, the stone hut settlements of the Orange Free State and Transvaal, and the Zimbabwe ruins of Southern Rhodesia are all included in the wide panorama of African folk building.'
