Description:

This highly interesting and entertaining book begins with the "...thought of being invited to join an expedition with internationally famous scientists had a dreamlike quality for me as a graduate student...". And then Beatrice Sandelowsky describes the research she did in Malawi under the guidance of Professor Desmond Clark, Keith Robinson, Sonia Cole and others. The following chapters are devoted to her archaeological work in Namibia under the Apartheid regime and a spate of teaching at a tribal university in South Africa. The pace is fast and humorous. Two final chapters relate the trials and tributations in setting up The University Centre for Studies in Namibia (TUCSIN) and the Rehoboth Museum in Namibia. The reader ends up with a good idea about research methods and their results in the prehistory of southern Africa and the recent history in Namibia.
