Book excerpt: This exciting Huckleberry Finn kind of story is about two African herdboys in 1950 going down the Okavango River in a dugout canoe. The beautiful river flows down out of the Benguela Highlands of Angola, crosses the Caprivi Strip of Namibia, then into Botswana where it spreads out through the vast Okavango Delta. The true-to-life adventures of Dibebe and Andara are about hunting, fishing, surviving, visiting friends and kinsmen along the great meandering river. The Hambukushu tribal ceremonies are true to the culture of these remote riverine people. Brave canoemen have traveled through the vast delta in dugout canoes. Bushman paintings can be seen in the mysterious Tsodilo Hills. It is possible that prehistoric peoples left their bones in a cave in these hills. The anthropologist author made eight expeditions from 1950 to 1994 to study the culture of these matrilineal, Bantu-speaking hunters, fishermen, farmers. All events in the story were possible in those long ago days of 1950. This story of karikaripamatango - the olden days - is most informative and educational reading for young people and adults alike!

Book excerpt: At one level Okavango Gods is a fast-moving adventure at the mouth of rivers, a story of a young Hambukushu man, Pula Barotse, and his beloved friend Julia, daughter of the Portuguese doctor at Shakawe clinic. Together the young couple struggle to contend with the traditional rituals of sacrifice for rain, and with the biggest flood to ever hit the Okavango delta. At another level, it is an allegory of Africa - mystical and beautiful, both wayward and ordered - evoking the ancient story of Gilgamesh and the flood. Nature, magic, fetish and ritual rule, just as they did 5000 years ago. But the Hambukushu people, and the Okavango river that sustains them, are threatened today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ethnographic portrayal of the lives of white citizens of the Okavango Delta, Botswana, this book examines their relationships with the natural and social environments of the region. In response to the insecurity of their position as a European-descended minority in a postcolonial African state, Gressier argues that white Batswana have developed cultural values and practices that have allowed them to attain high levels of belonging. Adventure is common for this frontier community, and the book follows their safari lifestyles as they construct and perform localized identities in their interactions with dangerous wildlife, the broader African community, and the global elite via their work in the nature-tourism industry.

Book excerpt: Tales from the Okavango tells several typical Hambukushu folktales, partly in narration and partly in song. Some of the tales are heard only in song, others only in narration. Most of the stories take place along the Okavango River in Africa. Animal characters interact with legendary characters, Nyambi the god, and the Hambukushu. Learn the story of Chief Chakova, who goes on an epic journey in search of his father; and the story of Nyambi's climb into heaven by the spider web. Meet Kadimba the hare, Ngando the crocodile, and Mbwawathe the silver fox who are the clever ones who outwit Nthoo the leopard....and many more fascinating characters. These are authentic folk tales told to Professor Larson by the three greatest Hambukushu story tellers: Setomba the ancient blind man of Shakawe, Mohore the magician, and Samarango the great magician of Seronga.
