Sotho law and custom in Basutoland

Basutoland (now Lesotho) is a small landlocked nation of about 900,000 inhabitants, mainly Sotho in origin and Sotho-speaking, with an internal economy that is partly pastoral and partly agricultural, supplemented by large-scale labour migration to South Africa. Field work was conducted for eleven months in 1964 and three months in 1966, being divided between the systematic study of court records and a period of research in a village in the arable lowlands.
