Isaac Schapera: A BibliographyCompiled by Suzette Heald |
NOTE
This bibliography has been compiled to honour Isaac Schapera, born 23rd June 1905, in his 95th year and to introduce new generations of scholars to the full range of his work by providing an updated and accessible listing. It relies heavily on the two previously published bibliographies by Archibald (1969) and Shack and Cohen (1979), which have been extended and, in a few instances, corrected. In addition, it includes works published over the last twenty years, including reprints of earlier writings which have been reproduced and reprinted in collections of essays or as self-standing publications. The bibliography also includes reports prepared by Schapera for the Bechuanaland Protectorate Government and which are available in the Botswana National Archives (BNA). Additionally, the Archives hold an extensive collection of Schapera's private papers and research materials, including official correspondence and proclamations, vernacular texts on history and custom, replies to questionnaires, photographs, notebooks, Mission publications and other materials used by Schapera in the course of his research in the Protectorate from 1929 to 1950. It also includes historical documents collected by Schapera and a large set of genealogies which he compiled from all the main Setswana-speaking groups during the 1930s and 1940s. These papers are classified in the Archives as PP1 and PP2. It should be noted that the University of Cape Town also holds an extensive collection of Schapera's manuscripts.
First editions of books written or edited by Schapera are given full citation and further editions indicated in the entry though, given the fact that Schapera's major books have been reprinted and re-issued in many different countries and publishers, this listing should be taken as indicative rather than as definitive. Nevertheless, effort has been made to trace the various editions, especially the latest and this has been given a separate entry, which is cross-referenced to the original. Reprinted articles have also been traced and are cross-referenced to the original.
The list of debts incurred in compiling this bibliography is, as usual, extensive. Firstly, my thanks go to Isaac Schapera himself for his meticulous checking of an earlier draft, correcting mistakes and pointing to omissions. Others helped in many ways, including Ørnulf Gulbrandsen, Mike Neocosmos, and others who have responded to specific queries including Adam Kuper, Jean Comaroff, Paul Henley, Jonathan Benthall and Sandy Grant. The usual disclaimer holds with even more force than normal: the responsibility for mistakes that have, nevertheless, crept into the bibliography remains with the compiler alone.
