The Bushmen Of Southern Africa: A Foraging Society In Transition

The Bushmen Of Southern Africa: A Foraging Society In Transition

Mat Guenther
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This book, by an archaeologist, an historian, an anthropologist and a school teacher, introduces the long history and current condition of the hunting people of southern Africa to a wide range of students, teachers and interested readers. It attempts to place the modern Bushmen, or San, in historical context and to show how they have continually adapted to outside pressures which, even today, are forcing them to fit into the modern states of Namibia and Botswana. Small-scale societies like that of the Bushmen have social lessons to teach a world that is becoming increasingly homogenized. Their lifestyle needs to be understood and respected. An introduction to the hunting people. The Stone Age archeology of southern Africa. The Later Stone Age archeology of Southern Africa. Finding the Bushmen in what Europeans wrote. The Bushman way of life—through European eyes. When cultures clash: Bushmen resist and adapt. Surviving against the odds. An ethnography of modern Bushmen. Hunter-gatherers in transition. The present and future of post-foraging Bushmen.
