Eleanor Preston-Whyte is a social anthropologist whose interest in Zulu beadwork dates from the 1960s when she undertook ethnographic research in the burgeoning craft markets that were beginning to line the highways to the north and south of the city of Durban. She is the author of a number of publications on the role of craftwork in informal money making and, in particular, on the part it has played in enabling Zulu women to build their own homes and educate generations of black children.
