Excellent- More about Historical Dictionary of Lesotho
Lesotho's history as a separate entity within South Africa is a source of national pride, but political instability and economic challenges could question its viability. The Historical Dictionary of Lesotho provides a comprehensive overview of the country's history, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.
Format: Hardback
Length: 670 pages
Publication date: 30 November 2023
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
Lesotho's history is intricately intertwined with its unique status as an enclave within South Africa, a status that has been the result of a long and arduous struggle. This shared history of resistance against colonial rule has served as a unifying force for the Basotho people, fostering a strong sense of national identity and pride.
However, since the end of apartheid in 1994, Lesotho's status as a separate entity has been called into question. While the Basotho people's fierce national pride has acted as a bulwark against any serious discussions of incorporating Lesotho into South Africa, the political instability and lack of a flourishing domestic economy have posed significant challenges for the majority of the population.
These challenges could ultimately call into question the viability and legitimacy of the state in the eyes of its citizens if it fails to enact significant reforms in the coming decades. Recognizing the importance of its history and unique status, Lesotho has taken steps to preserve and celebrate its cultural heritage. The Historical Dictionary of Lesotho, Third Edition, is a comprehensive resource that provides a chronology, introduction, and extensive bibliography. The dictionary section contains over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, as well as various aspects of Lesotho's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.
This book is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Lesotho. By exploring its history, culture, and current challenges, Lesotho can continue to thrive as a separate and vibrant nation within the broader South African context.
