The bulk of the rest of this first section of the book then deals systematically, chapter by chapter, with each of Rautenbach's films, with the key insight perhaps emerging that Rautenbach should be ...regarded as a "Sestiger" - a codeword for saying that his work was exploratory, innovative and provocative at this key moment of redefinition of what can loosely be called "Afrikaner identity". Martin Botha sketches briefly the context of the Afrikaans film industry at this time - this is essential background if one is to appreciate the truly astonishing scale of Rautenbach's achievement.

In doing so he utilises first hand observation and interviews ...with performers and spectators to look at four distinctive performance forms found in Africa, namely Igbo masquerade theatre, hausa ritual theatre, the griot tradition, and the Bamana comedy and satire.
