The Bushman' is a perennial but changing image. The transformation
of that image is important. It symbolizes the perception of Bushman
or San society, of the ideas and values of ethnographers who have
worked with Bushman peoples, and those of other anthropologists who
use this work. Anthropology and the Bushman covers early travellers
and settlers, classic nineteenth and twentieth-century
ethnographers, North American and Japanese ecological traditions,
the approaches of African ethnographers, and recent work on
advocacy and social development. It reveals the impact of Bushman
studies on anthropology and on the public.The book highlights how
Bushman or San ethnography has contributed to anthropological
controversy, for example in the debates on the degree of
incorporation of San society within the wider political economy,
and on the validity of the case for 'indigenous rights' as a
special kind of human rights. Examining the changing image of the
Bushman, Barnard provides a new contribution to an established
anthropology debate.A PDF version of this book is available for
free in open access via the OAPEN Library platform, www.oapen.org
