'This is the kind of book I had long been looking for - a book that really shows the daily life of Batswana as it was in the time from Independence up into the 20th century. All of the photographs are in black and white [in the paperback edition], but they are well chosen, high quality pictures. Most were taken in the early part of the stated time range, and the book formats one photo per page with explanatory captions. Sandy Grant lived for a long time in the Mochudi area, so there are a hundred pages of pictures of Mochudi and its culture. There are also 200 other pages with photos sampled from many other rural villages as well as the larger villages and town. I'm happy to recommend this collection'. Review from barnesandnoble.com.
