The book edited by Schmidt, a West German folklorist with a long research experience in Namibia, presents more than 130 Nama and Damara folktales, with a scholarly and imaginative analysis of each. The traditional stories are, however, set in a static context which fails to take into account processes of social change and the profound impact of colonization and occupation.
