- Summary:
- The San Bushmen are one of the most studied people in anthropology-subjects of research going back one hundred years, in documentaries and even in popular movies (The Gods Must Be Crazy). This intriguing new work on the San is a team-based ethnography in which South Africans are studying other South Africans. It is a new environment in which many San are no longer hunter-gatherers, but are activists, and engaged in cultural tourism. This book is an exciting counterpoint to traditional ethnographies and stories about the San people for anthropologists and Africanists.
