Originally from Sweden, Charles John Andersson was a well-traveled man and a naturalist. Most of his work centered around the flora, fauna, and landscapes of Africa. In "The Lion and the Elephant," he shares some of his knowledge with us about the physiology, mating habits, and social behaviors of these majestic animals, including their relationships with the local natives and the effects of the presence of man in their domains.

The Herero-German war led to the destruction of Herero society in all of its pre-war facets. Yet Herero society re-emerged, re-organizing itself around the structures and beliefs of the German colonial army and Rhenish missionary activity. Taking advantage of the South African invasion of Namibia in World War I the Herero established themselves in areas of their own choosing. The effective re-occupation of land by the Herero forced the new colonial state, anxious to maintain peace and cut costs, to come to terms with the existence of Herero society. The study ends in 1923 when the death and funeral of Samuel Maherero - first paramount of the Herero and then resistance leader - the catalyst that brought the disparate groups of Herero together to establish a single unitary Herero identity.
