Savage Childhood: A Study of Kafir Children is a book written by Dudley Kidd that explores the lives of children in the Kafir community in South Africa during the late 19th century. The book is based on Kidd's personal experiences and observations while living among the Kafir people. Kidd's main objective in writing this book was to provide a detailed account of the Kafir culture and way of life, particularly as it relates to child-rearing practices. He examines various aspects of Kafir childhood, including family life, education, play, and initiation rites. Throughout the book, Kidd draws comparisons between Kafir childhood and Western childhood, highlighting the differences in attitudes towards children and the ways in which they are raised. He also discusses the impact of colonialism on Kafir culture and the challenges faced by Kafir children in adapting to new ways of life. Savage Childhood: A Study of Kafir Children is a fascinating and insightful exploration of a culture that was largely unknown to Westerners at the time of its publication. It offers a unique perspective on childhood and child-rearing practices, and sheds light on the complexities of cultural exchange and adaptation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
