- Stassen (research, U. of Pretoria, South Africa) recounts the story of the Thirstland Trekkers, three groups of farmers who settled in Angola after suffering travel through inhospitable lands from Southwest Africa. The author recounts the repatriations, the failure of those who remained in Angola, and relations between the Angola Boers and the country of Angola.
