Dobe Ju Hoansi 2ND Edition

by Richard B Lee

Dobe Ju Hoansi 2ND Edition Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This classic, bestselling study of the !Kung San, foragers of the Dobe area of the Kalahari Desert describes a people's reactions to the forces of modernization, detailing relatively recent changes to !Kung rituals, beliefs, social structure, marriage and kinship system. It documents their determination to take hold of their own destiny-despite exploitation of their habitat and relentless development-to assert their political rights and revitalize their communities. Use of the name Ju/'hoansi (meaning "real people") acknowledges their new sense of empowerment.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-201) and index.
