Publisher Description: This work is a general introduction to Botswana. It's also a study of Botswana's national identity and how the country has been able to forge unity, and maintain peace and stability since independence. The author also looks at the country's ethnic identities as well as geography and history. Botswana's ethnic diversity is not as complex as Nigeria's, for example. But the country still faces some challenges because its ethnic diversity in spite of the fact that the vast majority of the people belong to one ethnic group, the Tswana. In fact, Botswana faces some of these problems precisely because of that - one ethnic group is dominant in the country. People who are learning about Botswana for the first time will find this work to be useful. |
