Skeleton of Chapter one.

Headings and subheadings.

Headings. 1. Xhosa bling.
                   2. Anthropology of a Xhosa        young man.

Subheadings will consist of the milestones a xhosa young man has to go through to become a productive member of his society. There are 9 milestones he has to go though.

The  relationship between human consciousness and their environment is outmost important in the survival of all humanity. This realization has breathed a new life in a new way of life for life. The body of work that I continuously craft has to embody the life of a Xhosa young man.

About 2000 – 1500 years ago – AbaNtu had moved all the way down past the Great Lakes Region and crossed the Limpopo River into the southern parts of Africa. King MNguni emerges as one of the leaders of these groups of people at some point in the migrations. The first king of the Xhosa nation. So as a Xhosa man I just looked at all that history and I wanted to bring the old notions of survival in the modern look. So i look at the Xhosa as a nation, I looked at Xhosa as a man, I looked at Xhosa as a movement, I looked at Xhosa as a culture, then I looked at Xhosa as a people, then I found their way of life. But after all that I wanted to focus on one particular aspect of the Xhosa culture, Xhosa man. My body of work will narrate the path for a young Xhosa man.
