Abstract:What kind of culture will Botswana need by 2016, fifty years after independence? The author argues for research and recognition of cultural diversity, urban-rural differences, and the need to eliminate poverty, rather than a stereotyped vision of national culture. He surveys progress since 1991 in drafting cultural policy, including changes in the southern African region, and the needs of women and youth in particular for participation in development. He also discusses aspects such as the commercial marketing of culture and the potential impact of television on national cultural identity. App., bibliogr., sum.
