- Summary:
- An example of "advocacy anthropology," this video asserts in caption, voice-over and pictures, that the 8000 !Kung San people in Namibia/South West Africa "will die out" if they are removed from their land -- it is clear that they indeed are being dispossessed. What will die out is their traditional culture; whether as individuals they will die out is another question.
