The San people have lived for thousands of years on the harsh
plains of Kalahari in southern Africa and are the oldest indigenous
people of the region. At the end of the nineteenth century,
anthropologists Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd traveled to southern
Africa to document the San's language and culture through their
drawings. Now assembled for the first time in "The Moon as Shoe,"
the drawings of the San come together in a striking visual essay of
San history and culture.
The diverse array of colorful watercolors and sketches were
primarily created by six San men interviewed by Bleek and Lloyd.
Augmenting the brilliant image reproductions are expert essays by
distinguished contributors such as Elias Canetti and Megan Biesele.
The volume also features additional contemporary works by Ivory
Coast artist Frederic Bruly Bouabre and South African artist Keith
Dietrich. A wholly original and compelling collection of indigenous
art, "The Moon as Shoe "is essential for all collectors and
scholars of African art.
