The African and His Live-Stock – 1944 Oxford University Press booklet on African agriculture and livestock by R. W. Thornton and W. G. Leckie, from the “African Welfare” series.
1 in stock
A scarce wartime Oxford University Press handbook from the “African Welfare” series, The African and His Live-Stock by R. W. Thornton and W. G. Leckie examines the importance of cattle and livestock in African agriculture and rural life. First published in 1942 and reprinted in 1944, the booklet was intended as a practical guide for those involved in farming, agricultural policy and African rural development during the colonial period.
Compact yet informative, The African and His Live-Stock offers insight into livestock management, cattle culture and agricultural practices in Africa during the early 20th century. Today it is of particular interest to collectors of Africana, agricultural history, colonial studies and South African farming literature. The booklet also forms part of the notable “African Welfare” series issued by Oxford University Press.
