• W2402411460 abstract "Praise poems have a function more than that of relating historical events. They usually contain many meaningless cliches, and they are composed during the rule or directly after the death of the chief or king. To the historians, the most important function of the praise poem is to provide understanding of the feel of the time in which it was created. In other words, it helps the historians to understand and apprehend what happened in that time period. It can be explained that the reason why praise poems are recited by many Southern Africans and continues to echo down the centuries is not only because praise poetry provides happiness and joy, but also it speaks to the people on behalf of individuals and the society. In that sense, praise poems clearly reflect collective identity or historical consciousness of the group or community. Maboko, or a Tswana praise poem, shows collective identity and historical consciousness. In that sense, praise poems can be considered as important records through which historical and cultural identity is revealed. This thesis deals with historical praise poems, which mainly praises greatness of a chief, gallantry of a warrior, tribe’s migration and settlement, and region that they reside. It is expressed by metaphorically citing aspects of nature such as animals, rivers and mountains. It is clear and agreed that historical praise poems do not contain accurate historical information and additional reference data should be supplemented before the poems can be used as historical data. However, names of chiefs, descriptions of events, criticisms and praises that the poems repeatedly mention reflect their historical consciousness. Bahurutshe people’s historical praise poems, which are the main concern of this paper, signify that they have strong historical consciousness, deep trust and confidence in the chieftaincy, and respect for their rulers. Furthermore, the poems show that they distinguish their culture from those of other nations, and they are very proud people." @default.
