The hunter-gatherers of southern Africa known as 'Bushmen' or 'San'
are not one single ethnic group, but several. They speak a diverse
variety of languages, and have many different settlement patterns,
kinship systems and economic practices. The fact that we think of
them as a unity is not as strange as it may seem, for they share a
common origin: they are an original hunter-gatherer population of
southern Africa with a history of many thousands of years on the
subcontinent. Drawing on his four decades of field research in
Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, Alan Barnard provides a
detailed account of Bushmen or San, covering ethnography,
archaeology, folklore, religious studies and rock-art studies as
well as several other fields. Its wide coverage includes social
development and politics, both historically and in the present day,
helping us to reconstruct both human prehistory and a better
understanding of ourselves.
