Document Summary
History produces an identity, yet one can have multiple identities (white, or jewish, or scholar) Tribe has a connotation of non-white hicks, hill people, or otherwise. South african words: morafe, losika, bogosi, sechaba, isizwe. All translated into tribe we don"t really know what they mean to the peoples who use these words, but we can do our best to derive connotations. This map separates africa into groups of language/culture, a-s. s is where south africa is. Something has bound more people together they"ve been there less time! People also move more in this subdivision because they are cattle farmers. They need to move as part of their trade. People in zone s would locate cattle in a central area, and then move for half of the year to gather into dense towns/cities of 20,000 people. Ex. -swiss mountain people had a history of combination of people (germans and. Scandinavians and other swiss natives), and it happened very recently.
