Tsuni-Goam: The Supreme Being of the Khoi-Khoi
Theophilus Hahn, 1881
Summary
A pioneering study of Khoikhoi (Nama) religion, mythology, and oral tradition by the son of a Rhenish missionary who grew up speaking Khoikhoi. Hahn's intimate knowledge gave his work a depth rare among nineteenth-century ethnographers — an essential source for pre-colonial Khoikhoi spiritual life and oral literature.
